Regioselective glucosylation of aromatic compounds: screening of a recombinant Glycosyltransferase library to identify new biocatalysts

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

A novel whole-cell screen for the identification of new glucosyltransferase (GT) biocatalysts within a recombinant enzyme library was developed. Following biotransformation, levels of D-glucose were used as a measure of biocatalysis. Twenty five enzymes that transfer D-glucose to trans-resveratrol were identified that have the regioselectivity shown in the picture.
