Development of screening methods for transketolase activity and substrate scope
摘要:
A new GC-based method is developed for the screening of activity and stereoselectivity of a wide range of polyols as substrates of transketolase (TK). Compared to previous screening methods, it shows higher reproducibility, sensitivity and range of detection. In combination with HPLC screening, it can be used efficiently to test mutant libraries obtained by directed evolution methods. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
