Application Comment Organism
synthesis immobilization of enzyme on solid support with the aim to have a stable and recyclable biocatalyst for nucleoside synthesis. Immobilization by ionic adsorption on amine-functionalized agarose and Sepabeads results in more than 85% activity recovery. Cross-linking with aldehyde dextran, MW20 kDa, decreases the percentage of expressed activity after immobilization by about 25%, but results in up to 6fold and 3fold higher stability than the soluble enzyme and the non-cross-linked counterpart, respectively, at pH 10 and 37°C. The preparation can be successfully used for the one-pot synthesis of 5-fluoro-2'-deoxyuridine starting from 2'-deoxyuridine or thymidine and 5-fluorouracil. In both cases, the reaction proceeds at the same rate leading to 62% conversion in 1 h Escherichia coli
