摘要:
A pentose such as ribose, arabinose, 2-deoxyribose, 1-methoxy-2-deoxyribose or the like is reacted with a phosphoric acid donor such as a pyrophosphoric acid or an alkali metal salt thereof in the presence of an acid phosphatase. Thus, a pentose-5-phosphate ester can be produced, such as a ribose-5-phosphate ester, an arabinose-5-phosphate ester, a 2-deoxyribose-5-phosphate ester, a 1-methoxy-2-deoxyribose-5-phosphate ester or the like.
摘要:
This invention provides a novel D-aminoacylase obtained by cloning a DNA encoding the novel D-aminoacylase from Methylobacterium mesophilicum MT 10894, etc. and which shows sufficiently high activity at an industrially useful substrate concentration to allow a D-amino acid to be efficiently produced from an N-acyl-DL-amino acid; a DNA encoding the D-aminoacylase; a process for producing a D-amino acid from the corresponding N-acylamino acid using a transformant containing the DNA.
