D-xylulose 4-epimerase, mutants and uses thereof

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to D-xylulose 4-epimerase, mutants thereof, and uses thereof. Specifically, the present disclosure relates to a polypeptide having D-xylulose 4-epimerase activity, a method for preparing said polypeptide, and use of said polypeptide in the preparation of L-pentose using D-xylose or D-xylulose as a raw material. Compared with the traditional preparation method in the prior art, the new method for preparing L-pentose discovered in the present disclosure has simpler production process and reduces the cost of producing L-pentose.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
