Abstract
The alpha- and beta-anomers of D-cellobiose were resolved by 1H NMR spectroscopy. Addition of cellobiose dehydrogenase purified from the white-rot P. chrysosporium led to selective conversion of beta-D-cellobiose. The product was identical to cellobionolactone as synthesized from Ca-cellobionate. Overnight incubation of the product led to an altered NMR spectrum, which was also obtained by incubation of cellobionolactone. The new spectrum matched that for Ca-cellobionate. The instability of cellobionolactone explains the detection of cellobionic acid as product in earlier studies.Entities:
