N-acetyl-D-neuraminic acid (Neu5Ac) is a high value-added product widely applied in the food industry. A suitable equilibrium model is required for purification of Neu5Ac based on ion-exchange chromatography. Hence, the equilibrium uptake of Neu5Ac on a strong anion exchanger, AD-1 was investigated experimentally and theoretically. The uptake of Neu5Ac by the hydroxyl form of the resin occurred primarily by a stoichiometric exchange of Neu5Ac(-) and OH(-). The experimental data showed that the selectivity coefficient for the exchange of Neu5Ac(-) with OH(-) was a non-constant quantity. Subsequently, the Saunders' model, which took into account the dissociation reactions of Neu5Ac and the condition of electroneutrality, was used to correlate the Neu5Ac sorption isotherms at various solution pHs and Neu5Ac concentrations. The model provided an excellent fit to the binary exchange data for Cl(-)/OH(-) and Neu5Ac(-)/OH(-), and an approximate prediction of equilibrium in the ternary system Cl(-)/Neu5Ac(-)/OH(-). This basic information combined with the general mass transfer model could lay the foundation for the prediction of dynamic behavior of fixed bed separation process afterwards.

N-acetyl-d-neuraminic acid synthase-congenital disorder of glycosylation (NANS-CDG) is a rare autosomal recessive defect in the N-acetyl-neuraminic acid biosynthesis pathway. Herein, we report the first Korean NANS-CDG patient. A 10-year-old boy was referred to our clinic because of incidental radiographic findings indicating spondyloepimetaphyseal dysplasia.

is a human pathogen and a leading cause of food poisoning in North America and Europe. The exterior surface of the bacterial cell wall is attached to a polymeric coat of sugar molecules known as the capsular polysaccharide (CPS) that helps protect the organism from the host immune response. The CPS is composed of a repeating sequence of common and unusual sugar residues.

High performance is the core objective that biotechnologists pursue, of which low efficiency, low titer, and side products are the chief obstacles. Here, a thermal strategy is proposed for simultaneously addressing the obstacles of whole-cell catalysis that is widely applied in the food industry. The strategy, by combining fast-growing , thermophilic enzymes, and high-temperature whole-cell catalysis, was successfully applied for the high-performance production of -acetyl-d-neuraminic acid (Neu5Ac) that plays essential roles in the fields of food (infant formulas), healthcare, and medicine.

N‑Acetyl‑D‑neuraminic acid (Neu5Ac) is the crucial compound for the chemical synthesis of antiflu medicine Zanamivir. Chemoenzymatic synthesis of Neu5Ac involves N-acetyl-D-glucosamine 2-epimerase (AGE)-catalyzed epimerization of N-acetyl-D-glucosamine (GlcNAc) to N-acetyl-D-mannosamine (ManNAc), and aldolase-catalyzed condensation between ManNAc and pyruvate. Host optimization plays an important role in the whole-cell biotransformation of value-added compounds.

NANS-CDG is a congenital disorder of glycosylation (CDG) caused by biallelic variants in NANS, encoding an essential enzyme in de novo sialic acid synthesis. It presents with intellectual developmental disorder (IDD), skeletal dysplasia, neurologic impairment, and gastrointestinal dysfunction. Some patients suffer progressive intellectual neurologic deterioration (PIND), emphasizing the need for a therapy.
