Application

2-Deoxyribose 5-phosphate is used as a substrate to identify, differentiate and characterize deoxyribose-phosphate aldolase(s). It is used for the synthesis of 2′-deoxyribonucleoside building blocks for the synthesis of antisense drugs and antiviral nucleosides.

To improve the properties of the immobilised 2-deoxy-D-ribose-5-phosphate aldolase (DERA), unreacted functional groups on support surface were blocked with amino acids. The relative activities of the immobilised enzyme were 144.7 and 141.9% when the post-immobilisation modification was done with Arg

A codon-optimized 2-deoxyribose-5-phosphate aldolase (DERA) gene was newly synthesized and expressed in Escherichia coli to investigate its biochemical properties and applications in synthesis of statin intermediates. The expressed DERA was purified and characterized using 2-deoxyribose-5-phosphate as the substrate. The specific

In this work, deoxyribose-5-phosphate aldolase (Ec DERA, EC 4.1.2.4) from Escherichia coli was chosen as the protein engineering target for improving the substrate preference towards smaller, non-phosphorylated aldehyde donor substrates, in particular towards acetaldehyde. The initial broad set of mutations

A new deoC gene encoding deoxyribose 5-phosphate aldolase (DERA) was identified in Yersinia sp. EA015 isolated from soil. The DERA gene had an open reading frame (ORF) of 672 base pairs encoding 223 amino acids to yield a protein of
