Structure-based prediction and identification of 4-epimerization activity of phosphate sugars in class II aldolases

Abstract Sugar 4-epimerization reactions are important for the production of rare sugars and their derivatives, which have various potential industrial applications. For example, the production of tagatose, a functional sweetener, from fructose by sugar 4-epimerization is currently constrained becau...
