Usage

Uses

Used in Animal Feed Industry:
L-threonine is used as a nutritional supplement in animal feed to support the growth and development of animals. It helps in maintaining proper protein balance and overall health.
Used in Pharmaceutical Industry:
L-threonine is used in the production of pharmaceuticals due to its involvement in the formation of collagen, elastin, and tooth enamel, as well as its role in the production of neurotransmitters. It can act as a precursor for the synthesis of glycine and serine, making it a valuable component in various medications.
Used in Food Products and Supplements Industry:
L-threonine is utilized in the production of food products and supplements to enhance their nutritional value and support overall health. Its role in protein synthesis and neurotransmitter production makes it a beneficial addition to these products.

LARGE-SCALE ENZYMATIC SYNTHESIS OF DIASTEREOISOMERIC γ-HYDROXY L-GLUTAMIC ACIDS.

Transamination of cysteine sulfinic acid and γ-hydroxy α-acetoglutaric acid, catalyzed by immobilised glutamic oxaloacetic aminotransferase provides a convenient route to γ-hydroxy L-glutamic acids synthesis.

Stereoselective synthesis of γ-hydroxy-α-amino acids through aldolase-transaminase recycling cascades

Efficient bi-enzymatic cascades combining aldolases and α-transaminases were designed for the synthesis of γ-hydroxy-α-amino acids. These recycling cascades provide high stereoselectivity, atom economy, and an equilibrium shift of the transamination. l-syn or anti-4-hydroxyglutamic acid and d-anti-4,5-dihydroxynorvaline were thus prepared in 83-95% yield in one step from simple substrates.

New synthetic routes to α-amino acids and γ-oxygenated α-amino acids. Reductive denitration and oxidative transformations of γ-nitro-α-amino acids

Transformation of γ-nitro-α-amino acid derivatives into α-amino acids by reductive denitration, into the γ-oxo-α-amino acids by ozonolysis of the corresponding amino acid ester nitronate derivatives, and into γ-hydroxy-α-amino acid derivatives by subsequent reduction of the oxo functionality, can be achieved in good yields. As the γ-nitro-α-amino acid derivatives are prepared from N,O-protected dehydroalanines derivable from the corresponding alanine, serine and cysteine derivatives by specific routes, the overall procedures provide a means for selective conversion of these simple α-amino acids into more complex ones.
