Sn-Beta zeolites with borate salts catalyse the epimerization of carbohydrates via an intramolecular carbon shift
Carbohydrate epimerization is an essential technology for the widespread production of rare sugars. In contrast to other enzymes, most epimerases are only active on sugars substituted with phosphate or nucleotide groups, thus drastically restricting their use. Here we show that Sn-Beta zeolite in th...
