摘要:
A practical procedure is reported for the use of the enzyme transketolase, from Escherichia coli, for asymmetric carbon-carbon bond synthesis. The reactions with the biocatalyst are conveniently carried out, on a gram scale, in unbuffered aqueous media by employing a pH autotitrator. An improved large scale synthesis of hydroxypyruvate is also reported. Copyright (C) 1996 Elsevier Science Ltd
