Abstract

Abstract: Preparative enzymatic synthesis of several unusual hexoketose and hexoaldose derivatives using fructose bisphosphate aldolase and glucose isomerase as catalysts has been developed. Fructose bisphosphate aldolase catalyzes a stereospecific aldol condensation between dihydroxyacetone phosphate and a number of aldehydes to form ketose 1-phosphates which upon removal of the phosphate groups by hydrolysis are ...
