A stereocontrolled synthesis of (2S,3R)-5-amino-3-hydroxy-2-(2-oxoazetin-1-yl) pentanoic acid, proclavaminic acid 3, has been achieved via the homochiral 4,5-disubstituted oxazolidin-2-one 4.
Product-substrate engineering by bacteria: Studies on clavaminate synthase, a trifunctional dioxygenase

Evidence is presented that clavaminate synthase (CS) catalyses three oxidative reactions in the clavulanic acid biosynthetic pathway. The first CS catalysed step (hydroxylation) is separated from the latter two (oxidative cyclisation and desaturation) by the action of a hydrolytic enzyme, proclavaminate amidinohydrolase, which modifies (or 'mutates') the sidechain of the product of the first reaction thereby converting it into a substrate for the second CS catalysed reaction.
Investigation of the Stereospecificity of Clavaminic Acid Synthase in the Desaturation of Dihydroclavaminic Acid to Clavaminic Acid

Incubations of (4R)- and (4S)--proclavaminic acid with clavaminic acid synthase resulted in the stereospecific removal of the deuterium and hydrogen respectively from C-4, in their conversions to clavaminic acid, suggesting an enzyme catalysed syn-
