D-Mannose and L-ribose are two important monosaccharides, which have attracted public attention recently because of their great application potentials in food, cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries. Sugar isomerases catalyze the sugar isomerization and therefore can be used as the biocatalysts for production of the high-value sugars from inexpensive sugars. L-arabinose isomerase catalyzes the conversion of L-arabinose to L-ribulose, while D-lyxose isomerase catalyzes L-ribulose and D-fructose t ...[more]
