Characterisation of Streptomyces spheroides NovW and revision of its functional assignment to a dTDP-6-deoxy-d-xylo-4-hexulose 3-epimerase
Abstract
Characterisation of recombinant Streptomyces spheroides NovW in vitro suggests that it is not a kinetically competent dual action dTDP-6-deoxy-D-xylo-4-hexulose 3,5-epimerase, but possesses only significant 3-epimerase activity.
