  • 48 3-1-4. Reactions Using Mutant FSA A129S Another Mutant Enzyme
    Results _ 3-1-4. Reactions using mutant FSA A129S Another mutant enzyme, A129S, which has serine at 129th residue instead of alanine (Fig.3-11a), has high potential to catalyze the reactions using DHA as a donor substrate. Virtually, the kcat/Km value for DHA is more than 12 fold of that of WT (Schürmann, 2001). This implies that larger amounts of products can be acquired with A129S than with WT, or unfavorable reactions with WT may be accomplished with the mutant enzyme. Firstly, FSA A129S was produced in DH5α with pUC18 plasmid vector and purified with same method as WT was done (Fig.3-11b, Table 3-8). This mutant enzyme was overexpressed well and a strong band corresponding to FSA was seen on SDS-PAGE gel (as 10~15% of total protein in crude extract). In addition, this mutant enzyme held the stability against high temperature. Thus, a heat treatment step was part of the purification protocol. However, protein solution obtained from hydroxyapatite column of the final purification step showed still a few extra protein bands on SDS-PAGE gel (Fig.3-11b). Although it contained those extra proteins, the purity appeared to be more than 90% on the gel and the specific activity was quite high enough to assay the catalytic ability of the enzyme for several substrates. Indeed, even crude extract showed higher specific activity than purified WT had (Table 3-8). Three reactions (scheme 3-1) were probed to assay catalytic ability of both FSA WT and A129S. Dihydroxyacetone (DHA) or hydroxyacetone (HA) were used as donor substrates, and formaldehyde or glycolaldehyde as acceptor.

    CBCS 3rd Semester Core Course VII Paper: Fundamentals of Biochemistry Unit 1: Carbohydrates Structure and Biological importance: Monosaccharides, Disaccharides, Polysaccharides and Glycoconjugates By- Dr. Luna Phukan Definition The carbohydrates are a group of naturally occurring carbonyl compounds (aldehydes or ketones) that also contain several hydroxyl groups. It may also include their derivatives which produce such compounds on hydrolysis. They are the most abundant organic molecules in nature and also referred to as “saccharides”. The carbohydrates which are soluble in water and sweet in taste are called as “sugars”. Structure of Carbohydrates Carbohydrates consist of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. The general empirical structure for carbohydrates is (CH2O)n. They are organic compounds organized in the form of aldehydes or ketones with multiple hydroxyl groups coming off the carbon chain. The building blocks of all carbohydrates are simple sugars called monosaccharides. A monosaccharide can be a polyhydroxy aldehyde (aldose) or a polyhydroxy ketone (ketose) The carbohydrates can be structurally represented in any of the three forms: 1. Open chain structure. 2. Hemi-acetal structure. 3. Haworth structure. Open chain structure – It is the long straight-chain form of carbohydrates. Hemi-acetal structure – Here the 1st carbon of the glucose condenses with the -OH group of the 5th carbon to form a ring structure. Haworth structure – It is the presence of the pyranose ring structure Classification of Carbohydrates Monosaccharides The simple carbohydrates include single sugars (monosaccharides) and polymers, oligosaccharides, and polysaccharides. Simplest group of carbohydrates and often called simple sugars since they cannot be further hydrolyzed. Colorless, crystalline solid which are soluble in water and insoluble in a non-polar solvent.

    Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology (2018) 102:587–595 https://doi.org/10.1007/s00253-017-8654-1 MINI-REVIEW Erythritol as sweetener—wherefrom and whereto? K. Regnat1 & R. L. Mach1 & A. R. Mach-Aigner1 Received: 1 September 2017 /Revised: 12 November 2017 /Accepted: 13 November 2017 /Published online: 1 December 2017 # The Author(s) 2017. This article is an open access publication Abstract Erythritol is a naturally abundant sweetener gaining more and more importance especially within the food industry. It is widely used as sweetener in calorie-reduced food, candies, or bakery products. In research focusing on sugar alternatives, erythritol is a key issue due to its, compared to other polyols, challenging production. It cannot be chemically synthesized in a commercially worthwhile way resulting in a switch to biotechnological production. In this area, research efforts have been made to improve concentration, productivity, and yield. This mini review will give an overview on the attempts to improve erythritol production as well as their development over time. Keywords Erythritol . Sugar alcohols . Polyols . Sweetener . Sugar . Sugar alternatives Introduction the range of optimization parameters. The other research di- rection focused on metabolic pathway engineering or genetic Because of today’s lifestyle, the number of people suffering engineering to improve yield and productivity as well as to from diabetes mellitus and obesity is increasing. The desire of allow the use of inexpensive and abundant substrates. This the customers to regain their health created a whole market of review will present the history of erythritol production- non-sugar and non-caloric or non-nutrient foods. An impor- related research from a more commercial viewpoint moving tant part of this market is the production of sugar alcohols, the towards sustainability and fundamental research.
