This work reports cascade reactions using a pyranose 2-oxidase and transaminases for synthesizing the rare amino sugars mannosamine, glucosamine, and galactosamine. Transaminases were engineered to accept unnatural 2-keto-sugars, providing up to 68% galactosamine yield. The mechanisms of C2-amination by these transaminases were also investigated. These transaminase variants have potential applications in high-value amino sugar synthesis.
这项工作报道了使用吡喃糖2-氧化酶和转氨酶进行级联反应来合成稀有氨基糖甘露糖胺、葡萄糖胺和半乳糖胺。对转氨酶进行了改造,使其能够接受非天然的2-酮糖,半乳糖胺产率高达68%。还研究了这些转氨酶进行C2-氨基化的机制。这些转氨酶变体在高价值氨基糖合成中具有潜在应用。
