Substrate specificity and carbohydrate synthesis using transketolase
摘要:
This paper describes the use of the enzyme transketolase as a catalyst in organic synthesis. The properties of transketolase from both yeast and spinach were investigated. The yeast enzyme was found to be more convenient for routine use. Examination of the substrate specificity of yeast transketolase demonstrated that the enzyme accepts a wide variety of 2-hydroxy aldehydes as substrates. A practical protocol for transketolase-catalyzed condensation of hydroxypyruvic acid with these aldehydes has been developed and used for the synthesis of four carbohydrates: L-idose, L-gulose, 2-deoxy-L-xylohexose, and L-xylose.

Provided herein are polymeric α-hydroxy aldehyde or α-hydroxy ketone reagents which can be conjugated to amine-containing compounds to form stable conjugates in a single-step reaction. In selected embodiments, the polymeric reagent itself incorporates an internal proton-abstracting (basic) functional group, to promote more efficient reaction. The substituent is appropriately situated, via a linker if necessary, to position the group for proton abstraction, preferably providing a 4- or 5-bond spacing between the abstracting atom and the hydrogen atom on the α-carbon. Also provided are methods of using the reagents and stable, solubilized conjugates of the reagents with biologically active compounds. In preferred embodiments, the polymeric component of the reagent or conjugate is a polyethylene glycol.

Hydroxyacetals 2 and 3 were resolved by acylation with vinyl acetate in the presence of lipases in organic media. The reverse reaction, the enzymatic hydrolysis of the corresponding acetates, was also highly stereoselective and provided the opposite enantiomers. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
