A chemoenzymatic approach to generate fully functional acyl coenzyme A molecules that are then used as substrates to drive in situ acyl transfer reactions is described. Mass spectrometry based assays to verify the identity of acyl coenzyme A enzymatic products are also illustrated. The approach is responsive to a diverse array of carboxylic acids that can be elaborated to their corresponding coenzyme A thioesters, with potential applications in wide-ranging chemical biology studies that utilize acyl coenzyme A substrates.

The present invention relates to a novel synthesis method for acyl-pantetheine derivatives. The present invention further relates to the use of said synthesized acyl-pantetheine derivatives as a starting material in the enzymatic synthesis of acyl-coenzyme A derivatives. According to a first aspect thereof, the present invention provides a method for the synthesis of acyl-pantetheine derivatives, the method including the steps of: a) providing a source of pantetheine; b) providing a source of acyl ester; and c) contacting the source of pantetheine with the source of acyl ester to form the corresponding acyl-pantetheine derivative, having the general formula (I), wherein R is an acyl group.The present invention also provides a method for the synthesis of acyl-coenzyme A derivatives as well as the use of a source of pantetheine and a source of acyl ester in the preparation steps of these two methods.
