(R)-amidase

(R)-amidase (, R-stereospecific amidase, R-amidase) is an enzyme with systematic name (R)-piperazine-2-carboxamide amidohydrolase. This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction


 * (1) (R)-piperazine-2-carboxamide + H2O $$\rightleftharpoons$$ (R)-piperazine-2-carboxylic acid + NH3
 * (2) beta-alaninamide + H2O $$\rightleftharpoons$$ beta-alanine + NH3

This enzyme also hydrolyses (R)-piperidine-3-carboxamide to (R)-piperidine-3-carboxylic acid and NH3.
