L-Lysine → 7-Amino-2-oxoheptanoic acid

関与物質

反応手順

In an alternative embodiment, lysine is first converted to 6-amino-2-oxohexanoic acid by an aminotransferase enzyme (EC 2.6.1.x) or a dehydrogenase (EC 1.4.1.x or EC 1.4.3.x). Preferred enzymes are listed in Table 7 and may be engineered to catalyze the desired substrate to product reaction. In a subsequent step, 6-amino-2-oxohexanoic acid is subjected to a carbon elongation enzymatic step to produce 7-amino-2-oxoheptanoic acid.
