A versatile route to L-hexoses: synthesis of L-mannose and L-altrose.

Org. Lett. 8 , 4863-4866, (2006)

[reaction: see text] An efficient route for the synthesis of orthogonally protected l-sugars has been opened up, starting from the heterocyclic homologating agent 1 and 2,3-O-isopropylidene-l-glyceraldehyde (2). Our synthetic path enables the synthesis of a 2...

Characterization of a recombinant cellobiose 2-epimerase from Caldicellulosiruptor saccharolyticus and its application in the production of mannose from glucose.

Appl. Microbiol. Biotechnol. 92 , 1187-1196, (2011)

A putative N-acyl-D-glucosamine 2-epimerase from Caldicellulosiruptor saccharolyticus was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. The recombinant enzyme was identified as a cellobiose 2-epimerase by the analysis of the activity for substrates, acid-hydrolyz...

Biochemical characterization of a thermophilic cellobiose 2-epimerase from a thermohalophilic bacterium, Rhodothermus marinus JCM9785.

Biosci. Biotechnol. Biochem. 75 , 2162-2168, (2011)

Cellobiose 2-epimerase (CE) reversibly converts glucose residue to mannose residue at the reducing end of β-1,4-linked oligosaccharides. It efficiently produces epilactose carrying prebiotic properties from lactose, but the utilization of known CEs is limited...
