Abstract

We have developed a synthetic method for dTDP-4-keto-6-deoxy-D-glucose with four enzyme system. We have used crude extracts from cultures of Escherichia coli BL21 strains harboring plasmids containing different sources. dTDP-4-keto-6-deoxy-D-glucose was synthesized by the combination of thymidine-monophosphate kinase, acetate kinase, dTDP-glucose synthase and dTDP-D-glucose 4,6-dehydratase in a batch system, starting the reaction with dTMP. The enzymatic synthesis strategy allowed a dTMP conversion with a 95%.
