Acetonitrile → Aurone

Participants

Reaction Steps

The reaction was started by adding 5 μl of THC, having an absorbance of 462 at 366 nm in ethanol, to 50 μl of 1 M sodium acetate buffer (pH 5.0) and 350 μl of crude enzyme solution diluted with water. After allowing to react for 1 hour at 30° C., and adding 100 μl of an aqueous solution of 90% (v/v) acetonitrile containing 1% (v/v) TFA to stop the reaction, activity was measured by HPLC. The crude enzyme solution in each purification step described later in Example 4 was measured.
