Article Synopsis
- Researchers developed a green enzymatic method to produce chondroitin sulfate E (CSE) from chondroitin sulfate A (CSA), which helps avoid contamination issues linked with animal-derived products.
- They identified and engineered a sulfotransferase enzyme, CHST15, boosting its efficiency in converting CSA to CSE by 3.5 times.
- A six-enzyme whole-cell catalyst was created, achieving a 72.2% conversion of CSA to CSE within 24 hours, highlighting a sustainable approach for industrial CSE production.
