Title:
METHOD FOR PRODUCING LACTO-N-BIOSE I OR GALACTO-N-BIOSE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2008/078614
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method for producing lacto-N-biose I or galacto-N-biose at low cost and in a simple manner. Specifically disclosed is a method for producing lacto-N-biose I or galacto-N-biose, which is characterized by reacting (i) a combination of a carbohydrate raw material and an enzyme capable of phosphorolyzing the carbohydrate raw material to produce α-glucose-1-phosphate with (ii) a combination of an enzyme capable of converting α-glucose-1-phosphate into UDP-glucose, an enzyme capable of converting UDP-galactose into galactose-1-phosphate and coenzymes for the enzymes, and/or an enzyme capable of converting α-glucose-1-phosphate and UDP-galactose into UDP-glucose and α-glucose-1-phosphate, respectively (an UDP-Gly-production enzyme) and a coenzyme for the enzyme, in the presence of N-acetylglucosamine or N-acetylgalactosamine, phosphoric acid, lacto-N-biose phosphorylase (EC 2.4.1.211) and UDP-glucose-4-epimerase (EC 5.1.3.2).
