  • the clear supernatant was applied to a Zn 2+ -charged Chelating Sepharose TM Fast Flow column and the His 6 -tag fused enzymes to a linear imidazole / HCl concentration gradient from 0 to 500 mM in 40 mM Hepes / NaOH pH 7, 5, 0.5 M NaCl eluted.
  • the elution fractions were concentrated by ultrafiltration and purified by gel filtration on Superdex200 in the presence of 25 mM Hepes / NaOH pH 8.3.
  • the three purified enzymes were used directly for the amination of isosorbitol (1, 4: 3,6-dianhydro-D-sorbitol (ol)) with recycling of the redox factors NADP + and L-alanine.
  • the enzyme test was composed as follows:
  • Example 1 For work-up, the samples were heated in a microwave at 600 W for about 15 seconds and then centrifuged off. Detection was carried out as described in Example 1.
  • Tripropylene glycol as a secondary alcohol was also used to detect the formation of oxidized and aminated product. This demonstrates the feasibility of the teaching of the invention over a broad spectrum of substrates.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé comprenant les étapes suivantes : a) la préparation d'un alcool secondaire ; b) l'oxydation de l'alcool secondaire par mise en contact avec une alcool déshydrogénase dépendante de NAD(P)+ ; et c) la mise en contact du produit d'oxydation issu de l'étape a) avec une transaminase, l'alcool déshydrogénase dépendante de NAD(P)+ et/ou la transaminase étant une enzyme de recombinaison ou isolée. La présente invention concerne également un catalyseur à cellules entières pour la mise en œuvre du procédé, et l'utilisation d'un tel catalyseur à cellules entières pour l'oxydation d'un alcool secondaire.
