Description
DeoC is a member of the deoC/fbaB aldolase protein family. The systematic name of this enzyme class is 2-deoxyribose-5-phosphate aldolase, which cleave carbon-carbon bonds. This protein is Involved in the carbohydrate degradation pathway, catalyzes the conversion of 2-deoxy-D-ribose 5-phosphate to D-glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate and an acetyldehyde. Recombinant E.coli deoC protein, fused to His-tag at N-terminus, was expressed in E.coli and purified by using conventional chromatography techniques
