Abstract

Optical isomers deamination of L- and D-glutamic and aspartic amino acids and of their DL racemic mixtures has been achieved in the presence of Na-montmorillonite at pH = 6 and room temperature. The adsorption curves showed that the enantiomer adsorbed depends on the type of amino acid. Nevertheless, deamination reaction kinetics brought about a stereoselectivity of the clay mineral for the L-isomer and implicitly showed an unquestionable “structural chirality character” of the clay mineral.
