Monooxygenases exhibiting high activity and differing regioselectivity for the dietary isoflavone metabolite equol were discovered among enzymes in the HpaBC family by a genome mining approach. These enzymes enabled the one-step product-selective synthesis of 3'- and 6-hydroxyequols from equol and molecular oxygen.
通过基因组挖掘方法,在HpaBC家族的酶中发现了对膳食异黄酮代谢产物雌马酚具有高活性且区域选择性不同的单加氧酶。这些酶能够从雌马酚和分子氧一步法进行产物选择性合成3'-羟基雌马酚和6-羟基雌马酚。
