title: [alpha-Aminomethylketones as inhibitors of a membrane-bound alanine aminopeptidase].
abstract: Methyl ketone derivatives of L-amino acids are substrate analogous inhibitors of membrane bound alanine aminopeptidase (EC 3.4.11.2) from Acinetobacter calcoaceticus. The type of inhibition is competitive. Compounds with a branched aliphatic side chain are most effective so that valine methyl ketone was found to be the best inhibitor of the enzyme with a K-value of 5.5.10(-7) mol.l-1.
