Benzaldehyde lyase (BAL)

• Cat.No.: BAL-42

Specification

• Description: BAL (Benzaldehyde lyase): a kind of enzyme that catalyze hydroxymethylation of aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes with formaldehyde to produce the corresponding α- Hydroxymethyl ketone. BAL is thiamine diphosphate (ThDP) – dependent enzyme.
• Applications: 1. Normally, the reaction system should include substrate, buffer solution, enzyme, ThDP, Mg2+. 2. BAL should be added last into reaction system, after the pH and temperature been adjusted to the reaction condition.
• Notes: Never contact with extreme conditions such as: high temperature, high/low pH and high concentration organic solvent.
• Storage: Keep 2 years below -20 centigrade.
• Advantages: 1. High substrate specificity. 2. Strong chiral selectivity. 3. High conversion. 4. Less by-products. 5. Mild reaction conditions. 6. Environmentally friendly.
