Enzymatic Upgrading of Biomass-Derived Aldoses to Rare Deoxy Ketoses Catalyzed by Transketolase Variants. [PDF]
A sustainable, convenient, scalable, one‐step method for the two‐carbon chain elongation of cheap, biomass‐derived pentoses (l‐arabinose, and 2‐deoxy‐d‐ribose) and a hexose (l‐rhamnose) was developed to produce Cn+2 deoxy ketoses (C‐7 and C‐8) using transketolase, an enzyme catalyzing the irreversible transfer of a ketol group from an α‐ketoacid to an ...

Substrate Induced Movement of the Metal Cofactor between Active and Resting State
Pyruvate dependent Class II aldolases require a ketoacid to induce a metal shift from resting state to active enzyme. This occurs without alterations in the protein structure and might be a common, but to date overlooked, feature in many metalloproteins. Abstract Regulation of enzyme activity is vital for living organisms.

Observations of reaction intermediates and the mechanism of aldose-ketose interconversion by D-xylose isomerase. [PDF]
Crystallographic studies of D-xylose isomerase (D-xylose ketol-isomerase, EC 5.3.1.5) incubated to equilibrium with substrate/product mixtures of xylose and xylulose show electron density for a bound intermediate. The accumulation of this bound intermediate shows that the mechanism is a non-Michaelis type. Carrell et al. [Carrell, H. L., Glusker, J. P.,

Aroma and color development during the production of specialty malts: A review
Abstract Specialty malts comprise a promising field for innovative approaches concerning their potential in terms of color, aroma, and taste influence on the composition of beer and other beverages. Nevertheless, poor reproducibility of aroma and taste is a recurrent struggle between maltsters, leaving color as a practical parameter for quality control.

The anoxic electrode‐driven fructose catabolism of Pseudomonas putida KT2440
A new pathway was uncovered for the fructose metabolism in Pseudomonas putida KT2440 cultivated anaerobically in a bioelectrochemical system. In addition to the typical PTS transporter‐based pathway observed under aerobic condition, fructose was firstly converted to mannose by isomerization and then oxidized to mannonate by the glucose dehydrogenase ...

Abstract The food enzyme is a d‐xylose aldose‐ketose‐isomerase (EC 5.3.1.5) produced with the genetically modified Streptomyces rubiginosus strain DP‐Pzn37 by Danisco US Inc. Although the production strain contains antibiotic resistance genes, the food enzyme was shown to be free from viable cells of the production organism and its DNA. The food enzyme

Outbreaks of duck Tembusu virus (DTMUV) have caused substantial economic losses in the major duck‐producing regions of China since 2010. To improve our understanding of the host cellular responses to virus infection and the pathogenesis of DTMUV infection, we applied isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantification (iTRAQ) labeling coupled with ...

Safety evaluation of the food enzyme glucose isomerase from Streptomyces murinus (strain NZYM‐GA)
Abstract The food enzyme is a glucose isomerase (d‐xylose aldose‐ketose‐isomerase; EC 5.3.1.5) produced with a non‐genetically modified Streptomyces murinus strain NZYM‐GA by Novozymes A/S. The glucose isomerase is intended only to be used in an immobilised form in glucose isomerisation for the production of high fructose syrups.
