Enzyme-catalyzed synthesis of carbohydrates: synthetic potential of transketolase
摘要:
The synthetic potential of yeast or spinach transketolases was studied, using hydroxypyruvate as a donor substrate and 31 aldehydes as acceptors. All of them react, including aromatic, heteroaromatic and alpha,beta unsaturated aldehydes.

The behaviour and the specificity of a spinach transketolase towards achiral aldehydes was studied. We have shown that these aldehydes are accepted by the enzyme and yield the corresponding saccharides with good enantiomeric excess.

The enantiomeric ratio and absolute configuration of products of the transketolase reaction are typically determined by comparison of the specific rotation or derivatisation and HPLC or GC. A Mosher's ester method has been developed via ester formation at the primary alcohol C-1 which can be used to determine the stereoselectivity of the reaction, as well as the absolute configuration of the product at C-3.
