Conversion of l-rhamnose into ten of the sixteen 1- and 6-deoxyketohexoses in water with three reagents: d-tagatose-3-epimerase equilibrates C3 epimers of deoxyketoses

The efficient isomerization of l-rhamnose [the only cheaply available deoxy hexose] to 1-deoxy-l-psicose, 1-deoxy-d-psicose, 1-deoxy-l-fructose, 1-deoxy-d-fructose, 1-deoxy-l-tagatose, 6-deoxy-l-psicose, 6-deoxy-d-psicose, 6-deoxy-l-fructose, 6-deoxy-d-fructose, and 6-deoxy-l-tagatose is described. The conversion of rhamnose to ten of the sixteen 1- and 6-deoxyketohexoses is accomplished in water in three steps. The range of substrates for d-tagatose-3-epimerase (DTE) is extended to 1- and 6-deoxyketoses. An authentic sample of 6-deoxy-d-psicose is prepared from d-psicose.

Efficient enzymatic synthesis of l-rhamnulose and l-fuculose

l-Rhamnulose (6-deoxy-l-arabino-2-hexulose) and l-fuculose (6-deoxy-l-lyxo-2-hexulose) were prepared from l-rhamnose and l-fucose by a two-step strategy. In the first reaction step, isomerization of l-rhamnose to l-rhamnulose, or l-fucose to l-fuculose was combined with a targeted phosphorylation reaction catalyzed by l-rhamnulose kinase (RhaB). The by-products (ATP and ADP) were selectively removed by silver nitrate precipitation method. In the second step, the phosphate group was hydrolyzed to produce l-rhamnulose or l-fuculose with purity exceeding 99% in more than 80% yield (gram scale).

DEOXYKETOHEXOSE ISOMERASE AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING DEOXYHEXOSE AND DERIVATIVE THEREOF USING SAME

Providing 1- or 6-deoxy products corresponding to all of aldohexoses, ketohexoses and sugar alcohols, as based on Deoxy-Izumoring, as well as a method for systematically producing those products. A method for producing deoxyketohexose and a derivative thereof using a deoxyketohexose isomerase derived from Pseudomonas cichorii ST-24 (FERM BP-2736), comprising epimerizing 1-deoxy D-ketohexose or 6-deoxy D-ketohexose or 1-deoxy L-ketohexose or 6-deoxy L-ketohexose at position 3 to produce the individually corresponding 1-deoxy D-ketohexose or 6-deoxy D-ketohexose or 1-deoxy L-ketohexose or 6-deoxy L-ketohexose as an intended product.
