Several heterocyclic β-substituted alanines were biomimetically synthesized by incubating 0.1M acetate buffer solution containing the appropriate heterocyclic compound and O-acetylserine or serine in the presence of pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP) and metal ions.This PLP-catalyzed chemical reaction depends upon pH, metal ions and temperature.The addition of Ga3+, Fe3+ or Al3+ enhanced the rate of synthesis.The optimum of the various reaction conditions of this biomimetic method is described.Keywords - biomymetic synthesis; amino acid synthesis; heterocyclic β-substituted alanine; non-protein amino acid; O-acetylserine; N-heterocyclic compound; pyridoxal 5'-phosphate; metal ion
