- Abstract
In the present research work, the multi-enzyme polypeptide carbamoyl synthetase-aspartate transcarbamoylase- dihydroorotase (CAD) was used as a novel biocatalyst to catalyze a multi-step reaction in a unitary reaction medium. Using organic solvent as reaction medium, we have observed formation of the final product, dihydroorotate, from initial substrates. Study on substrate specificity showed that the enzyme is capable of converting various amine to the corresponding dihydroortate (DHO). The multienzyme polypeptide CAD has an apparent molecular weight of 215,000-222,000.
