摘要:
The present invention provides a method enabling convenient production of an optically active secondary alcohol useful as a pharmaceutical intermediate, particularly an optically active 1,2-diol and an optically active 2-alkanol, from an enantiomer mixture thereof. An oxidizing enzyme source having the capability of selectively oxidizing one enantiomer of secondary alcohol is allowed to act on an enantiomer mixture of secondary alcohol in the presence of a reducing enzyme source having the capability of reverse enantio-selectively reducing a ketone derivative, to convert the enantiomer mixture into a substantially single enantiomer at a theoretical percent recovery of 100%, whereby an optically active secondary alcohol is produced.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a production method of an enantiomer-enriched compound, which includes the following (1) and (2): (1) contacting an enantiomer mixture with a stereoselective dehydrogenase, for which NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a coenzyme, thereby preferentially oxidizing one enantiomer and leaving the other enantiomer to form NADH, and (2) contacting the NADH formed by the oxidation reaction in (1) with a water-forming NADH oxidase stable under oxidative conditions to convert the NADH to NAD+. According to the present invention, in the production of an enantiomer-enriched compound from an enantiomer mixture, which uses a dehydrogenase, NAD+ can be regenerated even without addition of a stabilizer and an enantiomer-enriched compound can be obtained efficiently.

The present invention provides an industrially advantageous process for biochemical production of glyoxylic acid from glyoxal. More specifically, the present invention provides a process for production of glyoxylic acid, which is characterized in that the process comprises allowing oxidoreductase that can convert glyoxal into glyoxylic acid, such as oxidase and dehydrogenase, to act on glyoxal, so as to convert glyoxal into glyoxylic acid.

The present invention provides an industrially advantageous process for producing glyoxylic acid by a biochemical procedure using oxidase. In particular, the present invention provides novel (D)-2-hydroxy-acid oxidase acting on a 2-hycoxy acid to produce a corresponding 2-keto acid, and a process for producing glyoxylic acid in which the 2-hydroxy-acid oxidase, a culture solution of microorganisms capable of producing the enzyme, microorganism cells isolated from the culture solution, or a product of treatment of microorganism cells acts on glycolic acid to convert the glycolic acid to glyoxylic acid.

Water-forming NADH oxidase derived from Streptococcus mutans should be further improved in terms of stability for practical use in industrial production. An object of the present invention is to provide an enzyme that is obtained through modification of a water-forming NADH oxidase, which is useful as an NAD+ regeneration system for stereoselective oxidation catalyzed by an oxidoreductase, by protein engineering techniques so that the enzyme can withstand long-term use without exhibiting a reduction of its activity for the regeneration of NAD+, that is, an enzyme having improved stability, and to provide a method for efficiently producing a useful substance such as an optically active alcohol or amino acid. The present invention relates to an enzyme modification method that can improve the stability of water-forming NADH oxidase derived from Streptococcus mutans by appropriately introducing mutation.

A pair of compression rollers 38a and 38b parallel with each other are provided and powder grains are supplied to a powder grain introduction/compression part 50 formed between the rollers 38a and 38b and, thereby, compression moldings of the powder grains are formed. A powder grain press/feed means 20 is provided in a front stage of the rollers 38a and 38b. The press/feed means 20 has a deaerating barrel 24 and previously presses the powder grains supplied between the rollers 38a and 38b. In side surfaces of the rollers 38a and 38b, side seals 37 are arranged with clearances 72 maintained from the rollers 38a and 38b. During pressing the powder moldings, the powder grains enter into the clearances so that closer layers are formed between the side surfaces of the compression rollers 38a and 38b and the side seals 37, thereby sealing the powder grain introduction/compression part 50. In a rear stage of the rollers 38a and 38b, a shearing device 75 is provided and shears the compression moldings formed by the rollers 38a and 38b. Torque of the shearing device 75 is detected by a torque sensor, and the compression rollers 38a and 38b and the powder grain transport means 17 are controlled in accordance with the detected torque.

The invention provides an alkali-soluble adhesive agent characterized by comprising an alkali-soluble resin that is a reaction product (C) obtained by allowing a polycarboxylic acid and/or a polycarboxylic anhydride having two or more carboxyl groups to react with a reaction product of a compound (A) having at least one epoxy group with a monocarboxylic acid compound (B). Preferably, the alkali-soluble resin is used in combination with a ketone organic solvent, optionally with at least one member selected from the group consisting of a melt viscosity reducing agent, a surface active agent and a plasticizer. The alkali-soluble adhesive agent can be removed by an alkali aqueous solution without recourse to any organic solvent, and is of an environmental protection-conscious type with improvements in adhesion, adhesion strength, coatability, surface smoothness, softening point controllability, melt viscosity controllability and spread controllability.
