Four derivatives of 2(II)-deoxycellobiose were synthesized from d-glucal and acceptor sugars (d-glucose, d-xylose, d-mannose, and 2-deoxy-d-arabino-hexose) using a cellobiose phosphorylase from Cellvibrio gilvus. The enzyme was found to be an effective catalyst to synthesize the beta-(1-->4) linkage of 2-deoxy-d-arabino-hexopyranoside. The acceptor specificity for the d-glucal reaction was identical to that for the alpha-d-glucose 1-phosphate reaction, but the activity of d-glucal was approximately 500 times less than that of alpha-d-glucose 1-phosphate, using 10mM substrates.
