A colorimetric assay for screening transketolase activity
摘要:
A tetrazolium red-based colorimetric assay has been devised to screen for transketolase activity with a range of aldehyde acceptors. The colorimetric TK assay is able to detect > 8% bioconversion using non-alpha-hydroxylated aldehydes as acceptor substrates and is significantly faster and more convenient to use than chromatographic procedures.

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.

Transketolase mutants have been identified that accept aromatic acceptors with good stereoselectivities, in particular benzaldehyde for which the wild type enzyme showed no activity.
Transketolase variants were engineered to utilize arylalkanals and benzaldehyde as substrates with up to 28-fold rate acceleration for C–C bond formation with good yields (50–73%) and virtually complete (3S)-stereoselectivity (>99% ee).

biomimetic TK one-potreaction using hydroxypyruvate and aldehydes to generate α,α′-dihydroxy ketones in water has recently been described. To investigate this tertiary-amine mediatedreaction mechanism two approaches were used. Firstly, 13C labelled lithium hydroxypyruvate was synthesised and used to establish where hydroxypyruvate is incorporated in the product. In separate experiments reaction intermediates
