Enzymatic production of L-tryptophan from DL-serine and indole by a coupled reaction of tryptophan synthase and amino acid racemase was studied. The tryptophan synthase (EC 4.2.1.20) of Escherichia coli catalyzed beta-substitution reaction of L-serine into L-tryptophan and the amino acid racemase (EC 5.1.1.10) of Pseudomonas putida catalyzed the racemization of D-serine simultaneously in one reactor. Under optimal conditions established for L-tryptophan production, a large-scale production of L-tryptophan was carried out in a 200-liter reactor using intact cells of E. coli and P. putida. After 24 h of incubation with intermittent indole feeding, 110 g liter-1 of L-tryptophan was formed in molar yields of 91 and 100% for added DL-serine and indole, respectively. Continuous production of L-tryptophan was also carried out using immobilized cells of E. coli and P. putida. The maximum concentration of L-tryptophan formed was 5.2 g liter-1 (99% molar yield for indole), and the concentration decreased to 4.2 g liter-1 after continuous operation for 20 days. 相似文献

The intrinsic enthalpy changes (corrected for hydration of D-glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate) for the reactions catalyzed by the alpha and beta 2 subunits of tryptophan synthase from Escherichia coli have been determined calorimetrically. Cleavage of indoleglycerol phosphate (alpha reaction) was found to be associated with a delta H value of 54.0 +/- 2.5 kJ mol-1, while condensation of indole with L-serine (beta reaction) involved -80.3 +/- 4.6 kJ mol-1'. By direct determination of the enthalpy concomitant with the overall synthesis of tryptophan from indoleglycerol phosphate and L-serine an enthalpy value of -13.4 +/- 5.6 kJ mol-1 was observed. In view of the uncertainties of the literature data used for calculation of the hydration contribution, the agreement between the directly measured delta H value of the overall reaction and the sum of the enthalpies of the alpha and beta reactions is fair. Deamination of L-serine, a side reaction catalyzed preferentially by the isolated beta 2 pyridoxal 5'-phosphate2 subunit, was shown to be associated with an enthalpy change of -7.3 +/- 0.4 kJ mol-1. 相似文献

Several beta replacement and alpha,beta elimination reactions catalyzed by tryptophanase from Escherichia coli are shown to proceed stereospecifically with retention of configuration. These conversions include synthesis of tryptophan from (2S,3R)- and (2s,3s)-[3(-3H)]serine in the presence of indole, deamination of these serines in D2O to pyruvate and ammonia, and cleavage of (2S,3R)-and (2S,3S)-[3(-3H)]tryptophan in D2O to indole, pyruvate, and ammonia. A coupled reaction with lactate dehydrogenase was used to trap the stereospecifically labeled [3-H,2H,3H]pryuvates as lactate, which was oxidized to acetate for chirality analysis of the methyl group. During deamination of tryptophan there is significant intramolecular transfer of the alpha proton of the amino acid to C-3 of indole. To determine the exposed face of the cofactor.substrate complex on the enzyme surface and to analyze its conformational orientation, sodium boro[3H]hydride was used to reduce tryptophanase-bound alaninepyridoxal phosphate Schiff's base. Degradation of the resulting pyridoxylalanine to (2S)-[2(-3H)]alanine and (4'S)-[4'(-3H)]pyridoxamine demonstrates that reduction occurs from the exposed si face at C-4' of the complex and that the ketimine double bond is trans. 相似文献

Bacterial nitric-oxide synthase proteins (NOSs) from certain Streptomyces strains have been shown to participate in biosynthetic nitration of tryptophanyl moieties in vivo (Kers, J. A., Wach, M. J., Krasnoff, S. B., Cameron, K. D., Widom, J., Bukhaid, R. A., Gibson, D. M., and Crane, B. R., and Loria, R. (2004) Nature 429, 79-82). We report that the complex between Deinococcus radiodurans NOS (deiNOS) and an unusual tryptophanyl-tRNA synthetase (TrpRS II) catalyzes the regioselective nitration of tryptophan (Trp) at the 4-position. Unlike non-enzymatic Trp nitration, and similar reactions catalyzed by globins and peroxidases, deiNOS only produces the otherwise unfavorable 4-nitro-Trp isomer. Although deiNOS alone will catalyze 4-nitro-Trp production, yields are significantly enhanced by TrpRS II and ATP. 4-Nitro-Trp formation exhibits saturation behavior with Trp (but not tyrosine) and is completely inhibited by the addition of the mammalian NOS cofactor (6R)-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-l-biopterin (H(4)B). Trp stimulates deiNOS oxidation of substrate l-arginine (Arg) to the same degree as H(4)B. These observations are consistent with a mechanism where Trp or a derivative thereof binds in the NOS pterin site, participates in Arg oxidation, and becomes nitrated at the 4-position. 相似文献

The physiological synthesis of L-tryptophan from indoleglycerol phosphate and L-serine catalyzed by the alpha 2 beta 2 bienzyme complex of tryptophan synthase requires spatial and dynamic cooperation between the two distant alpha and beta active sites. The carbanion of the adduct of L-tryptophan to pyridoxal phosphate accumulated during the steady state of the catalyzed reaction. Moreover, it was formed transiently and without a lag in single turnovers, and glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate was released only after formation of the carbanion. These and further data prove first that the affinity for indoleglycerol phosphate and its cleavage to indole in the alpha subunit are enhanced substantially by aminoacrylate bound to the beta subunit. This indirect activation explains why the turnover number of the physiological reaction is larger than that of the indoleglycerol phosphate cleavage reaction. Second, reprotonation of nascent tryptophan carbanion is rate limiting for overall tryptophan synthesis. Third, most of the indole generated in the active site of the alpha subunit is transferred directly to the active site of the beta subunit and only insignificant amounts pass through the solvent. Comparison of the single turnover rate constants with the known elementary rate constants of the partial reactions catalyzed by the alpha and beta active sites suggests that the cleavage reaction rather than the transfer of indole or its condensation with aminoacrylate is rate limiting for the formation of nascent tryptophan. 相似文献

The reactions of tryptophanase, tyrosine phenol-lyase, and tryptophan synthase with a new class of substrates, the O-acyl-L-serines, have been examined. A method for preparation of O-benzoyl-L-serine in high yield from tert.-butyloxycarbonyl (tBoc)-L-serine has been developed. Reaction of the cesium salt of tBoc-L-serine with benzyl bromide in dimethylformamide gives tBoc-L-serine benzyl ester in excellent yield. Acylation with benzoyl chloride and triethylamine in acetonitrile followed by hydrogenolysis with 10% palladium on carbon in trifluoroacetic acid gives O-benzoyl-L-serine, isolated as the hydrochloride salt. O-Benzoyl-L-serine is a good substrate for beta-elimination or beta-substitution reactions catalyzed by both tryptophanase and tyrosine phenol-lyase, with Vmax values 5- to 6-fold those of the physiological substrates and comparable to that of S-(o-nitrophenyl)-L-cysteine. Unexpectedly, O-acetyl-L-serine is a very poor substrate for these enzymes, with Vmax values about 5% of those of the physiological substrates. Both O-acyl-L-serines are poor substrates for tryptophan synthase, measured either by the synthesis of 5-fluoro-L-tryptophan from 5-fluoroindole and L-serine catalyzed by the intact alpha 2 beta 2 subunit or by the beta-elimination reaction catalyzed by the isolated beta 2 subunit. With all three enzymes, the elimination of benzoate appears to be irreversible. These results suggest that the binding energy from the aromatic ring of O-benzoyl-L-serine is used to lower the transition-state barrier for the elimination reactions catalyzed by tryptophanase and tyrosine phenol-lyase. Our findings support the suggestion (M. N. Kazarinoff and E. E. Snell (1980) J. Biol. Chem. 255, 6228-6233) that tryptophanase undergoes a conformational change during catalysis and suggest that tyrosine phenol-lyase also may undergo a conformational change during catalysis. 相似文献

Microcalorimetry and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) have been used to conduct a thermodynamic investigation of reactions catalyzed by PABA synthase, the enzyme located at the first step in the shikimic acid metabolic pathway leading from chorismate to 4-aminobenzoate (PABA). The overall biochemical reaction catalyzed by the PabB and PabC components of PABA synthase is: chorismate(aq)+ammonia(aq)=4-aminobenzoate(aq)+pyruvate(aq)+H(2)O(l). This reaction can be divided into two partial reactions involving the intermediate 4-amino-4-deoxychorismate (ADC): chorismate(aq)+ammonia(aq)=ADC(aq)+H(2)O(l) and ADC(aq)=4-aminobenzoate(aq)+pyruvate(aq). Microcalorimetric measurements were performed on all three of these reactions at a temperature of 298.15 K and pH values in the range 8.72-8.77. Equilibrium measurements were performed on the first partial (ADC synthase) reaction at T=298.15 K and at pH=8.78. The saturation molality of 4-aminobenzoate(cr) in water is (0.00382+/-0.0004) mol kg(-1) at T=298.15 K. The results of the equilibrium and calorimetric measurements were analyzed in terms of a chemical equilibrium model that accounts for the multiplicity of ionic states of the reactants and products. These calculations gave thermodynamic quantities at the temperature 298.15 K and an ionic strength of zero for chemical reference reactions involving specific ionic forms. For the reaction: chorismate(2-)(aq)+NH(4)(+)(aq)=ADC(-)(aq)+H(2)O(l), K=(10.8+/-4.2) and Delta(r)H(m)(o)=-(35+/-15) kJ mol(-1). For the reaction: ADC(-)(aq)=4-aminobenzoate(-)(aq)+pyruvate(-)(aq)+H(+)(aq), Delta(r)H(m)(o)=-(139+/-23) kJ mol(-1). For the reaction: chorismate(2-)(aq)+NH(4)(+)(aq)=4-aminobenzoate(-)(aq)+pyruvate(-)(aq)+H(2)O(l)+H(+)(aq), Delta(r)H(m)(o)=-(174+/-6) kJ mol(-1). Thermodynamic cycle calculations were used to calculate thermodynamic quantities for three additional reactions that utilize L-glutamine rather than ammonia and that are pertinent to this branch point of the shikimic acid pathway. The quantities obtained in this study permit the calculation of the position of equilibrium of these reactions as a function of temperature, pH, and ionic strength. Values of the apparent equilibrium constants and the standard transformed Gibbs energy changes Delta(r)G'(m)(o) under approximately physiological conditions are given. 相似文献

Microcalorimetry and high performance liquid chromatography have been used to conduct a thermodynamic investigation of reactions catalyzed by anthranilate synthase, the enzyme located at the first step in the biosynthetic pathway leading from chorismate to tryptophan. One of the overall biochemical reactions catalyzed by anthranilate synthase is: chorismate(aq) + ammonia(aq) = anthranilate(aq) + pyruvate(aq) + H2O(l). This reaction can be divided into two partial reactions involving the intermediate 2-amino-4-deoxyisochorismate (ADIC): chorismate(aq) + ammonia(aq) = ADIC(aq) + H2O(l) and ADIC(aq) = anthranilate(aq) + pyruvate(aq). The native anthranilate synthase and a mutant form of it that is deficient in ADIC lyase activity but has ADIC synthase activity were used to study the overall ammonia-dependent reaction and the first of the above two partial reactions, respectively. Microcalorimetric measurements were performed on the overall reaction at a temperature of 298.15 K and pH 7.79. Equilibrium measurements were performed on the first partial (ADIC synthase) reaction at temperatures ranging from 288.15 to 302.65 K, and at pH values from 7.76 to 8.08. The results of the equilibrium and calorimetric measurements were analyzed in terms of a chemical equilibrium model that accounts for the multiplicity of ionic states of the reactants and products. These calculations gave thermodynamic quantities at the temperature 298.15 K and an ionic strength of zero for chemical reference reactions involving specific ionic forms. For the reaction: chorismate2-(aq) + NH4+(aq) = anthranilate-(aq) + pyruvate-(aq) + H+(aq) + H2O(l), delta rHmo = -(116.3 +/- 5.4) kJ mol-1. For the reaction: chorismate2-(aq) + NH4+(aq) = ADIC-(aq) + H2O(l), K = (20.3 +/- 4.5) and delta rHmo = (7.5 +/- 0.6) kJ mol-1. Thermodynamic cycle calculations were used to calculate thermodynamic quantities for three additional reactions that are pertinent to this branch point of the chorismate pathway. The quantities obtained in this study permit the calculation of the position of equilibrium of these reactions as a function of temperature, pH, and ionic strength. Values of the apparent equilibrium constants and the standard transformed Gibbs energy changes delta rG'mo under approximately physiological conditions are given. 相似文献

An effective method for production of L-tryptophan from hair acid hydrolysis wastewater (HHW) containing L-serine was developed by recombinant tryptophan synthase. This study provides us with an alternative HHW utilization strategy. Tryptophan synthase could efficiently convert L-serine contained in HHW to L-tryptophan at pH 8.0, 40°C and Tween-80 of 0.04%. The enzyme also showed high tolerance to ammonium chloride, a component in HHW. In a scale up study, L-serine conversion rate reach 95.1% with a final L-tryptophan concentration of 33.2 g l(-1). 相似文献

6-(Difluoromethyl)indole has been characterized and developed as a probe for the turnover of indole by the bifunctional enzyme, tryptophan synthase (alpha 2 beta 2). The neutral form of the indolyl species undergoes a slow and spontaneous hydrolysis to produce 6-formylindole with a rate constant (k1) of 0.0089 +/- 0.0001 min-1. The overall rate is independent of pH in the range of 3.5-10.5. Above pH 10.5, the observed rate increases are due to the high reactivity of the anionic form of the indole; deprotonation at N-1 accelerates hydrolysis by 10(4)-fold (k2, 97 +/- 2 min-1). The magnitude of this effect provides a technique for detecting the formation or stabilization of the anionic form of indole. 6-(Difluoromethyl)indole is recognized and processed by the beta subunit of tryptophan synthase. Selective inactivation of the beta subunit prevents enzymatic processing of 6-(difluoromethyl)indole. Chromatographic isolation and mass spectral analysis has identified 6-(difluoromethyl)tryptophan as the sole turnover product of the indolyl substrate. The lack of enzyme-promoted dehalogenation does not exclude the formation of an indole anion during turnover but rather the data suggest that rapid carbon-carbon bond formation (greater than 5300 min-1) prevents the accumulation of this anion. 相似文献

The trans-aconitate methyltransferase from the bacterium Escherichia coli catalyzes the monomethyl esterification of trans-aconitate and related compounds. Using two-dimensional (1)H/(13)C nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, we show that the methylation is specific to one of the three carboxyl groups and further demonstrate that the product is the 6-methyl ester of trans-aconitate (E-3-carboxy-2-pentenedioate 6-methyl ester). A similar enzymatic activity is present in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Although we find that yeast trans-aconitate methyltransferase also catalyzes the monomethyl esterification of trans-aconitate, we identify that the methylation product of yeast is the 5-methyl ester (E-3-carboxyl-2-pentenedioate 5-methyl ester). The difference in the reaction catalyzed by the two enzymes may explain why a close homologue of the E. coli methyltransferase gene is not found in the yeast genome and furthermore suggests that these two enzymes may play distinct roles. However, we demonstrate here that the conversion of trans-aconitate to each of these products can mitigate its inhibitory effect on aconitase, a key enzyme of the citric acid cycle, suggesting that these methyltransferases may achieve the same physiological function with distinct chemistries. 相似文献

Continuous production of L-tryptophan from indole and L-serine by immobilized Escherichia coli cells 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Escherichia coli B 10, which has high activity of tryptophan synthetase, was grown in a 50-L batch culture in order to determine in which growth phase the cells have the highest specific tryptophan productivity. Accordingly, whole cells of the stationary phase were used for immobilization in polyacrylamide beads. After immobilization, these immobilized cells had 56% activity of tryptophan synthetase compared with that of free cells. First, the properties of immobilized cells were investigated. Next, discontinuous productions of L-tryptophan were carried out by using immobilized cells. In discontinuous production of L-tryptophan by the batch, the activity remaining of immobilized cells was 76-79% after 30 times batchwise use. In continuous production of L-tryptophan with a continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR), the activity remaining of the immobilized cells was 80% after continuous use for 50 days. The maximum productivity of L-tryptophan in this CSTR system was 0.12 g tryptophan L(-1) h(-1). 相似文献

The spectral shift from 420 to 338 nm when pure bacterial D-amino acid transaminase binds D-amino acid substrates is also exhibited in part by high concentrations of L-amino acids (L-alanine and L-glutamate) but not by simple dicarboxylic acids or monoamines. Slow processing of L-alanine to D-alanine was observed both by coupled enzymatic assays using D-amino acid oxidase and by high pressure liquid chromatography analysis employing an optically active chromophore (Marfey's reagent). When the acceptor for L-alanine was alpha-ketoglutarate, D-glutamate was also formed. This minor activity of the transaminase involved both homologous (L-alanine and D-alanine) and heterologous (L-alanine and D-glutamate) substrate pairs and was a function of the nature of the keto acid acceptor. In the presence of alpha-ketoisovalerate, DL-alanine was almost completely processed to D-valine; within the limits of the assay no L-valine was detected. With alpha-ketoisocaproate, 90% of the DL-alanine was converted to D-leucine. In the mechanism of this transaminase reaction, there may be more stereoselective constraints for the protonation of the quinonoid intermediate during the second half-reaction of the transamination reaction, i.e. the donation of the amino group from the pyridoxamine 5'-phosphate coenzyme to a second keto acid acceptor, than during removal of the alpha proton in the initial steps of the reaction pathway. Thus, with this D-amino acid transaminase, the discrete steps of transamination ensure fidelity of the stereospecificity of reaction pathway. 相似文献

Twenty-three indole analogs were used to inhibit the growth of carrot and tobacco suspension cultures. The addition of tryptophan or indole partially reversed the inhibition of both cell lines only for 4-fluoroindole, 5-fluoroindole, and 6-fluoroindole. Inhibition of tobacco cell growth by 5-aminoindole, 5-methoxyindole, 6-methoxyindole, or 7-methoxyindole was also partially reversed. Previously selected carrot and tobacco lines, which have high free tryptophan levels, grew in the presence of the analogs for which reversal was noted in all cases except 5-aminoindole and also in some other cases. Growth inhibition caused by all 10 tryptophan analogs studied was partially reversible by tryptophan or indole and the high tryptophan lines were also able to grow in the presence of concentrations inhibitory to the wild type lines. 相似文献

We have examined the interaction of tryptophan synthase and tryptophanase with the tryptophan analogues oxindolyl-L-alanine and 2,3-dihydro-L-tryptophan. Since these analogues have tetrahedral geometry at carbon 3 of the heterocyclic ring, they are structurally similar to the indolenine tautomer of L-tryptophan, a proposed intermediate in reactions of L-tryptophan. Oxindolyl-L-alanine and 2,3-dihydro-L-tryptophan are potent competitive inhibitors of both tryptophan synthase and tryptophanase, with KI values (3-17 microM) 10-100-fold lower than the corresponding Km or KI values for L-tryptophan. Addition of oxindolyl-L-alanine or 2,3-dihydro-L-tryptophan to solutions of the alpha 2 beta 2 complex of tryptophan synthase results in new absorption bands at 480 or 494 nm, respectively, which are ascribed to a quinonoid or alpha-carbanion intermediate. Spectrophotometric titration data give half-saturation values of 5 and 25 microM, which are comparable to the KI values obtained in kinetic experiments. Our finding that both enzymes catalyze incorporation of tritium from 3H2O into oxindolyl-L-alanine is evidence that both enzymes form alpha-carbanion intermediates with oxindolyl-L-alanine. These results support the proposal that the indolenine tautomer of L-tryptophan is an intermediate in reactions catalyzed by both tryptophanase and tryptophan synthase. In addition, we have found that oxindolyl-L-alanine reacts irreversibly with free pyridoxal phosphate to form a covalent adduct. 相似文献

The reactions catalyzed by glutamate synthase from Azospirillum brasilense have been investigated by a combination of absorption spectroscopy, steady-state kinetic measurements and experiments with stereospecifically labelled substrate. The data show that both L-glutamine-dependent and ammonia-dependent reactions of the glutamate synthase from A. brasilense follow an identical two-site uni-uni bi-bi kinetic mechanism, in which the enzyme is alternately reduced by NADPH and oxidized by the iminoglutarate formed on addition of ammonia to the C2 of 2-oxoglutarate. The spectroscopic experiments support the involvement of the enzyme chromophores (flavins and iron-sulfur centers) in both reactions. Finally, using stereospecifically labelled NADPH, we showed that the enzyme from Azospirillum is specific for the transfer of the 4S hydrogen of NADPH. During the catalysis of both L-glutamine-dependent and ammonia-dependent reactions, this hydrogen atom equilibrates with the solvent. The data obtained with glutamate synthase from A. brasilense, a diazotroph, differ significantly from those regarding the ammonia-dependent reaction of other glutamate synthases. The ammonia-dependent activity of glutamate synthase from Azospirillum is not physiologically significant, representing only a segment of the overall physiological L-glutamine-dependent activity and requiring the enzyme flavins and iron-sulfur centers. Finally, the data are not consistent with the hypothesis [Geary, L. E. & Meister, A. (1977) J. Biol. Chem. 252, 3501-3508] that the small subunit of glutamate synthase is endowed with a glutamate-dehydrogenase-like activity. 相似文献

The bacterial tryptophan synthase bienzyme complexes (with subunit composition alpha 2 beta 2) catalyze the last two steps in the biosynthesis of L-tryptophan. For L-tryptophan synthesis, indole, the common metabolite, must be transferred by some mechanism from the alpha-catalytic site to the beta-catalytic site. The X-ray structure of the Salmonella typhimurium tryptophan synthase shows the catalytic sites of each alpha-beta subunit pair are connected by a 25-30 A long tunnel [Hyde, C. C., Ahmed, S. A., Padlan, E. A., Miles, E. W., & Davies, D. R. (1988) J. Biol. Chem. 263, 17857-17871]. Since the S. typhimurium and Escherichia coli enzymes have nearly identical sequences, the E. coli enzyme must have a similar tunnel. Herein, rapid kinetic studies in combination with chemical probes that signal the bond formation step between indole (or nucleophilic indole analogues) and the alpha-aminoacrylate Schiff base intermediate, E(A-A), bound to the beta-site are used to investigate tunnel function in the E. coli enzyme. If the tunnel is the physical conduit for the transfer of indole from the alpha-site to the beta-site, then ligands that block the tunnel should also inhibit the rate at which indole and indole analogues from external solution react with E(A-A). We have found that when D,L-alpha-glycerol 3-phosphate (GP) is bound to the alpha-site, the rate of reaction of indole and nucleophilic indole analogues with E(A-A) is strongly inhibited. These compounds appear to gain access to the beta-site via the alpha-site and the tunnel, and this access is blocked by the binding of GP to the alpha-site. However, when small nucleophiles such as hydroxylamine, hydrazine, or N-methylhydroxylamine are substituted for indole, the rate of quinonoid formation is only slightly affected by the binding of GP. Furthermore, the reactions of L-serine and L-tryptophan with alpha 2 beta 2 show only small rate effects due to the binding of GP. From these experiments, we draw the following conclusions: (1) L-Serine and L-tryptophan gain access to the beta-site of alpha 2 beta 2 directly from solution. (2) The small effects of GP on the rates of the L-serine and L-tryptophan reactions are due to GP-mediated allosteric interactions between the alpha- and beta-sites.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS) 相似文献

The stereochemistry of the four partial reactions catalyzed by chicken liver fatty acid synthase that lead to the synthesis of palmitic acid has been determined. The reduction of acetoacetyl-CoA to 3-hydroxybutyryl-CoA by NADPH proceeds with the transfer of the pro-4S hydrogen of NADPH to form D-3-hydroxybutyryl-CoA. During the subsequent dehydration of D-3-hydroxybutyryl-CoA the pro-2S hydrogen and the 3-hydroxyl group are removed in a syn elimination to form crotonyl-CoA. Crotonyl-CoA is reduced to butyryl-CoA by NADPH, with the transfer of the pro-4R hydrogen of NADPH to the pro-3R position in butyryl-CoA and the transfer of a solvent hydrogen to the pro-2S position. The occurrence of the syn dehydration, when combined with the results of a previous study [ Sedgwick , B., & Cornforth , J. W. (1977) Eur. J. Biochem. 75, 465-479], implies that the condensation of the enzyme-bound malonyl moiety with the enzyme-bound saturated fatty acid to form a 3-keto intermediate proceeds with inversion at C-2 of the malonyl. The stereochemistry of the hydration was derived from an analysis of the spin-spin coupling constant of 3-hydroxy[2-2H]butyric acid benzylamides obtained from 3-hydroxy[2-2H]butyryl-CoA synthesized by fatty acid synthase. The elucidation of the stereochemistry of the reduction of crotonyl-CoA relied on the previously established stereochemistry of pork liver acyl-CoA dehydrogenase. The source of all 28 prochiral hydrogens of the palmitic acid synthesized by chicken liver fatty acid synthase was inferred from the results of this work. 相似文献
