Overcoming the thermodynamic equilibrium of an isomerization reaction through oxidoreductive reactions for biotransformation

A desired product cannot be obtained at higher concentration than its equilibrium concentration when isomerases are used for biotransformation. Here, the authors engineer in vivo oxidoreductive reactions in yeast to overcome the equilibrium limitation of in vitro isomerases-based tagatose production...
