摘要: To elucidate the mechanism of (3S)-equol biosynthesis, (2,3,4-d3)-trans-THD was synthesized and converted to by THD reductase in Eggerthella strain Julong 732. The position deuterium atoms determined 1H NMR 2H spectroscopy, product identified as (2,3,4α-d3)-(3S)-equol. All were retained, while OH group at C-4 replaced a hydrogen atom with retention configuration. explain this stereospecific reduction, we propose involving radical intermediates.
