An enzyme, l-ribose isomerase (l-RI), mostly catalyzes the isomerization of l-ribose and l-ribulose. These so-called rare sugars are essential for the treatment of cancer and other viral diseases. In the present study, l-ribose isomerase produced from a bacterium, Mycetocola miduiensis

A putative l-ribose isomerase (EC 5.3.1.B3, l-RI) gene of Actinotalea fermentans ATCC 43279 was chemically synthesized, subcloned into pET-21b vector, and then overexpressed in Escherichia coli. After 0.5mM IPTG induction at 20°C for 20h, the recombinant l-RI was highly expressed

In this study, organic acid could be used as co-catalyst for assisting solid acid SO42-/SnO2-argil to convert hemicellulose-derived D-xylose into furfural. The relationship between pKa of organic acid and turnover frequency (TOF) of co-catalysis with organic acid plus SO42-/SnO2-argil was
