(R)-amidase (, R-stereospecific amidase, R-amidase) is an enzyme with systematic name (R)-piperazine-2-carboxamide amidohydrolase. This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

(1) (R)-piperazine-2-carboxamide + HO $\rightleftharpoons$ (R)-piperazine-2-carboxylic acid + NH (2) beta-alaninamide + HO $\rightleftharpoons$ beta-alanine + NH

This enzyme also hydrolyses (R)-piperidine-3-carboxamide to (R)-piperidine-3-carboxylic acid and NH3.
