Characterization of glycerol phosphate oxidase from Streptococcus pneumoniae and its application for ketose synthesis

Glycerol phosphate oxidase from Streptococcus pneumoniae (GPOS.pne) was purified and characterized. By the actions of GPOS.pne and dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP)-dependent aldolases, various ketoses including rare sugars were synthesized with glyceraldehydes as acceptors in a one-pot four-enzyme system.
