Popis: The present paper is concerned with the availability of the acyl derivatives of lysine for the growth of young rats in the course of studying the enzymatic resolution of dl-lysine with mold acylase. The enzymatic resolution of dl-lysine to optically-active l and d-isomers was carried out in either of the following two ways, namely, the asymmetric hydrolysis of diacetyl-dl-lysine or that of e-benzoyl-α-acetyl-dl-lysine.The oral administration of e-acetyl-l-lysine to rats fed on the lysine-deficient diet supported the growth of young rats at a rate approximately two-thirds of that observed when l-lysine was supplied. e-Benzoyl-l-lysine proved to be quite ineffective while diacetyl lysine showed a slight but insignificant increase in body weight.
