The study reports on the development of a bioreactor for the production of alpha-keto acids from D,L- or D-amino acids using Rhodotorula gracilis D-amino acid oxidase. D-amino acid oxidase was co-immobilized with catalase on Affi-Gel 10 matrix, and the reactor was operated as a continuous-stirred tank reactor (CSTR) or stirred tank with medium recycling conditions. The optimum substrate concentration and quantity of biocatalyst were determined (5 mM and 1.2 mg/L, respectively). Under optimum operating conditions, product formation was linearly related to both substrate and enzyme concentration, showing the system to be highly flexible. Under these conditions, in a stirred tank, over 90% conversion was achieved in 30 min with a maximum production of 0.23 g of pyruvic acid/day/enzyme units. Product was recovered by ion exchange chromatography. The operational stability of the reactor was high (up to 9.5 h of operation without loss of activity) and the inactivation half-life was not reached even after 18 h or 36 bioconversion cycles. This represents the first case of a reactor developed successfully with a D-amino acid oxidase.

The probing of live bacteria via the incorporation of fluorescent D-amino acids (FDAAs) during peptidoglycan synthesis has been shown to be practical for visualizing both gram-positive and gram-negative bacterial species. This study demonstrates the reliability and applications of FDAA labelling for the fluorescent imaging of an obligate anaerobe.

Cyclin-dependent kinase 9 (CDK9) plays a pivotal role in promoting oncogenic transcriptional pathways, significantly contributing to the development and progression of cancer. Given the unique biostability of d-amino acid, the development of d-amino acid-containing peptides (DAACPs) is a promising strategy for cancer treatment. Currently, no DAACPs inhibitor targeting CDK9-cyclin T1 have been reported.

Litchi is one of the ancient fruits that originated in China, renowned for its high nutrition and rich flavor, and Xianjinfeng (XJF) stands as one of the most notable varieties in terms of its flavor. Investigating the metabolic changes in taste compounds during fruit development offers deeper insights into the formation patterns of fruit quality. In this study, we conducted extensive metabonomic research on the accumulation patterns of taste compounds (carbohydrates, organic acids, and amino acids) across three developmental stages of XJF litchi.

Antibiotics are a revolutionary discovery in modern medicine, enabling the successful treatment of bacterial infections that were once untreatable and deadly. Teixobactin, a "head-toside- chain" cyclodepsipeptide, shows great promise as a lead compound for developing new antibiotics to deal with multi-drug-resistant bacterial infections. The unique pharmacological profile and intriguing structural characteristics of teixobactin, including its unusual amino acid residues (three D-amino acids and L-allo-enduracididine), have drawn the attention of multiple research groups seeking to create new antibiotics with innovative mechanisms.
