Characterization and engineering of epimerases for the production of rare sugars [PDF]
Tagatose is a rare sugar that can be applied for multiple reasons in different industries, for instance as a low-caloric sweetener in dietary food, as well as additive in detergents, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical formulations, but also as drug molecule ...

Analysing names of organic chemical compounds : from morpho-semantics to SMILES strings and classes [PDF]
The linguistic analysis of chemical terminology is a key to biochemical text processing and semi-automatic database curation. The system described analyses systematic and semi-systematic names of chemical compounds, class terms, and also otherwise ...

Effect of maleic acid on the selectivity of glucose and fructose dehydration and degradation [PDF]
5-Hydroxymethyfurfural (HMF), a platform chemical can upgrade to a variety of fuels and polymers, can be manufactured from lignocellulose. This study focuses on the Lewis and Brønsted acid effect on hexose dehydration for HMF production.

Studies on the Structure and Function of Glucosephosphate Isomerases: Chemical Modifications, Chemical Cleavages and Structural Analyses [PDF]
Human glucosephosphate isomerase was subjected to a series of chemical modifications aimed at identifying residues essential for catalytic activity. Specific lysyl, arginyl, tryptophanyl and histidyl residues were found to react stoichiometrically with ...

Colorimetric method to appropriately evaluate aldose isomerase activity for rare sugar production [PDF]
アルドースイソメラーゼは希少糖生産上有用であるため近年注目を集めているが、希少糖生産に向けて適切に酵素活性を測定するのは困難である。そのため、希少糖生産に必要な酵素量を正確に算出することができず、酵素の過不足が生じやすい。本稿では、ADA法がD‐フルクトース存在化ではほとんど呈色しないが、アルドースは鋭敏に検出・定量できるという報告をもとに、本法のアルドースイソメラーゼ活性測定への応用を試みた。結果として、ADA法はケトース存在下でもアルドースを定量することができ ...

Development of an Assay System for the Determination of Transketolase and Transaldolase Activities in Hyperthermophilic Bacteria and Archaea [PDF]
Only a few hyperthermophilic archaea are found to have a complete nonoxidative stage of pentose phosphate pathway (NOPPP), which indicates that most archaeal hyperthermophiles are partially missing pentose metabolizing enzymes.

Insights into the Mechanistic and Regulatory Properties of D-arabinose-5-phosphate [PDF]
Arabinose-5-phosphate isomerase (API) catalyzes the interconversion of D-ribulose-5-phosphate and D-arabinose-5-phosphate (A5P), which is the first step in the biosynthesis of 3-deoxy-D-manno-octulosonate (Kdo).
