Biochemical analysis and the preliminary crystallographic characterization of d-tagatose 3-epimerase from Rhodobacter sphaeroides
Abstract Background d-Tagatose 3-epimerase epimerizes d-fructose to yield d-psicose, which is a rare sugar that exists in small quantities in nature and is difficult to synthesize chemically. We aim to explore potential industrial biocatalysts for commercial-scale manufacture of this rare sugar. A d...
