The natural role of peptide deformylases (EC 3.5.1.31) is the hydrolysis of the N-terminal formyl group from nascent peptides. This enzyme combines a good 

Lipases are generally inactive on the amide bond. One notable exception is the hydrolysis and alcoholysis of P-lactams by CAL-B [108-112]. For example, CAL-B
