Chemoenzymatic preparation of ribose, deoxyribose and arabinose 5-phosphates was accomplished. These compounds were tested as starting materials in the enzymatic preparation of natural and modified purine and pyrimidine nucleosides, using an overexpressed Escherichia coli phosphopentomutase.

Ribose 5-phosphate (R5P) undergoes the Maillard reaction with amines at significantly higher rates than most other sugars and sugar phosphates. The presence of an intramolecular phosphate group, which catalyzes the early stages of the Maillard reaction, provides the opportunity for the R5P molecule to undergo novel reaction paths creating unique Maillard products. The initial set of reactions leading to an Amadori product (phosphorylated) and to an α-dicarbonyl phosphate compound follows a typical Maillard reaction sequence, but an observed phosphate hydrolysis accompanying the reaction adds to the complexity of the products formed. The reaction rate for the loss of R5P is partially dependent on the pKa of the amine but also is correlated to the protonation of an early intermediate of the reaction sequence. In the presence of oxygen, a carboxymethyl group conjugated to the amine is a major product of the reaction of R5P with N-acetyllysine while little of this product is generated in the absence of oxygen. Despite lacking a critical hydroxyl group necessary for the Maillard reaction, 2-deoxyribose 5-phosphate (dR5P) still generates an Amadori-like product (with a carbonyl on the C-3 carbon) and undergoes phosphate cleavage. Two highly UV-absorbing products of dR5P were amine derivatives of 5-methylene-2-pyrrolone and 2-formylpyrrole. The reaction of dR5P with certain amines generates a set of products that exhibit an interesting absorbance at 340 nm and a high fluorescence.

This paper describes enzymatic syntheses of 5-phospho-D-ribosyl α-1-pyrophosphate (PRPP) on a 75-mmol scale.The reactions used PAN-immobilized PRPP synthetase as catalyst with in situ ATP-cofactor regeneration.In one procedure pure r-5-P was used as a starting material; in a second, r-5-P was synthesized by ribokinase-catalyzed phosphorilation of D-ribose and used in situ.The potential for use of PRPP as a starting material for the preparation of nucleotides was demonstrated by an enzymatic synthesis of UMP.This paper also describes several methods for the preparation of r-5-P: acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of AMP, acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of crude mononucleotide mixture obtained by digestion of RNA, chemical synthesis from D-ribose, and ribokinase-catalyzed synthesis from D-ribose.Procedures are described for the isolation of PRPP synthetase (from Salmonella typhimurium) and ribokinase (from Lactobacillus plantarum) and for immobilization of these enzymes in PAN.
