Cover Story: The “one-pot” synthesis of vidarabine 5′-monophosphate (araA-MP), an antiviral drug, was carried out by multi-enzymatic reaction using arabinosyluracil (araU), adenine, and adenosine triphosphate as precursors. Three enzymes involved in the biosynthesis of nucleosides and nucleotides were immobilized and used in cascade mode: uridine phosphorylase from Clostridium perfringens (CpUP), a purine nucleoside phosphorylase from Aeromonas hydrophila (AhPNP), and deoxyadenosine kinase from Dictyostelium discoideum (DddAK). The orchestration of reaction conditions, immobilization carriers, and biocatalyst stability led to >95% conversion of vidarabine 5′-monophosphate.View this paper.
