Chemoenzymatic synthesis of l-tyrosine derivative for a transketolase assay
摘要:
We have prepared an L-tyrosine derivative bearing a D-threo ketose moiety by a convenient chemoenzymatic route. This compound is of potential interest for developing stereospecific assays for enzymes catalyzing C-C bond cleavage such as transketolase. We showed in vitro by analytical studies (LC/MS and P-31 NMR) that this compound can release L-tyrosine in the presence of wild type TK extract and bovine serum albumin. This assay is the first step towards a mutant TK selection test that could be developed for yeast cells auxotrophic for L-tyrosine. (c) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
