Applications of BBa_K902041

amdA is an Amidase gene responsible for the removal of primary amides from a variety of compounds. We validated the ability of this gene to remove the primary amide group from benzamide. This was evaluated through GC/MS analysis and detailed on our protocol page. This is detailed in the figures below:

Figure 1: GC chromatograph demonstrating the degradation of benzamide by AmdA compared to an E. coli control. Additionally, a smaller peak with an earlier retention time is produced solely in the sample run.

Figure 2: Mass Spectra for the peak at a retention time of 10.5 minutes from Figure 1 representing the substrate benzamide. Additionally, the peak at retention time of 9 minutes represents benzoic acid based on its mass suggesting that their is a small accumulation of product.
