From: Enzymatical and microbial degradation of cyclic dipeptides (diketopiperazines)

Figure 1

Enzymatical hydrolysis of different cyclic amides. (A) Hydantoins are cleaved to N-carbamoyl-α-amino acids. (B) Dihydropyrimidine derivatives are converted to N-carbamoyl-β-amino acids. (C) Potential biodegradation way of DKPs: hydrolysis of DKPs would lead to the corresponding linear dipeptides by unknown enzymes (investigated in this work), and the formed dipeptides could be hydrolyzed to the corresponding amino acids by dipeptidases.
