In this study, the monosaccharide specificity of RmCE has been mapped and the synthesis of D-talose from D-galactose was discovered, a reaction not yet known to occur in nature. Moreover, the conversion is industrially relevant, as talose and its derivatives have been reported to possess important antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. As the enzyme also catalyzes the keto-aldo isomerization of galactose to tagatose as a minor side reaction, the purity of talose was found to decrease over time. After process optimization, 23 g/L of talose could be obtained with a product purity of 86% and a yield of 8.5% (starting from 4 g (24 mmol) of galactose). However, higher purities and concentrations can be reached by decreasing and increasing the reaction time, respectively. In addition, two engineering attempts have also been performed.

  • Screening of Candidate Substrates and Coupling Ions of Transporters By

Traditional identification methods use transport assays with radioactive compounds, but they are technically challenging and many compounds are unavailable in radioactive form or are prohibitively expensive, precluding large- scale trials. Here, we present a high-throughput screening method that can identify candidate substrates from libraries of unlabeled compounds. The assay is based on the principle that transport proteins recognize substrates through specific interactions, which lead to enhanced stabilization of the transporter population in thermostability shift assays. Representatives of three different transporter (super)families were tested, which differ in structure as well as transport and ion coupling mechanisms. In each case, the substrates were identified correctly from a large set of *For correspondence: chemically related compounds, including stereo-isoforms.

  • Food Carbohydrates: Monosaccharides and Oligosaccharides
    Paper No. 01 Paper Title: Food Chemistry Module-04: Food carbohydrates: Monosaccharides and Oligosaccharides Monosaccharides The simplest form of carbohydrates is the monosaccharide. Monosaccharides are either aldoses or ketoses. Aldoses such as glucose consists of a carbon backbone and a carbonyl group (C=O) located at the end of the chain. Ketoses such as fructose consists of a carbon backbone with a carbonyl group located at any other carbon in the chain. The remaining carbon atoms are bound to hydroxyl groups (-OH). Monosaccharide classifications based on the number of carbons Number Category of Examples Name Carbons 4 Tetrose Erythrose, Threose 5 Pentose Arabinose, Ribose, Ribulose, Xylose, Xylulose, Lyxose Allose, Altrose, Fructose, Galactose, Glucose, Gulose, Idose, 6 Hexose Mannose, Sorbose, Talose, Tagatose 7 Heptose Sedoheptulose, Mannoheptulose Monosaccharides Three common sugars glucose, galactose and fructose share the same molecular formula: C6H12O6. Because of their six carbon atoms, each is a hexose. Although all three share the same molecular formula, the arrangement of atoms differs in each case. Substances such as these three, which have identical molecular formulas but different structural formulas, are known as structural isomers. Glucose "Blood sugar" is the immediate source of energy for cellular respiration. Glucose, which is also referred to as dextrose, is a moderately sweet sugar found in vegetables and fruit. When glucose is fermented by the enzyme zymase, in yeast, it results in the formation of carbon dioxide and ethyl alcohol. It is the basic structure to which all carbohydrates are reduced to in the end, for transport via the bloodstream and use by the cells of the body.

    Carbohydrates Carbohydrates are compounds that have the general formula CnH2nOn Because CnH2nOn can also be written Cn(H2O)n, they appear to be “hydrates of carbon” Carbohydrates are also called “sugars” or “saccharides” Carbohydrates can be either aldoses (ald is for aldehyde and ose means a carbohydrate) or ketoses (ket is for ketone) OH OH O OH CH2OH CH2OH OHC HOH2C OH OH OH OH An Aldose A Ketose (D-Glucose) (D-Fructose) Carbohydrates Due to the multiple chiral centers along a linear carbon chain for carbohydrates, Emil Fischer developed the “Fischer Projection” in order to represent these compounds Remember how to draw a Fischer projection: 1) View the linear carbon chain along the vertical axis (always place the more oxidized carbon [aldehyde in an aldose] towards the top) 2) The horizontal lines are coming out of the page toward the viewer 3) Will need to change the viewpoint for each carbon so the horizontal substituents are always pointing towards the viewer CHO OH OH H OH HO H CH2OH = OHC H OH OH OH H OH CH2OH Emil Fischer (1852-1919) Carbohydrates The aldoses are thus all related by having an aldehyde group at one end, a primary alcohol group at the other end, and the two ends connected by a series of H-C-OH groups CHO CHO CHO CHO CHO H OH H OH H OH H OH HO H CH2OH H OH H OH H OH HO H CH2OH H OH H OH HO H CH2OH H OH HO H CH2OH CH2OH Aldotriose Aldotetrose Aldopentose Aldohexose Aldohexose D-glyceraldehyde D-erythose D-ribose D-allose L-allose The D-aldoses are named according to glyceraldehyde, the D refers to the configurational
