  • ONE STEP ENZYMATIC PROCESS FOR PRODUCING ALKYL FURANOSIDES
    Publication number: 20150125888
    Abstract: A process for enzymatically converting a furanoside substrate in a product of interest, includes contacting the substrate with an enzyme in presence of an alcohol acceptor, wherein the enzyme is preferably Araf51, and wherein the product is preferably an alkyl furanoside. The mutant Araf51 enzyme showing improved transglycosylation activity in comparison with the native wild-type (wt) Araf51 enzyme, and a method for screening the mutants are also described.
