1 H, 13 C, 15 N resonance assignment of the enzyme KdgF from Bacteroides eggerthii.

To fully utilize carbohydrates from seaweed biomass, the degradation of the family of polysaccharides known as alginates must be understood. A step in the degradation of alginate is the conversion of 4,5-unsaturated monouronates to 4-deoxy-L-erythro-5-hexoseulose catalysed by the enzyme KdgF. In this study BeKdgF from Bacteroides eggerthii from the human gut microbiota has been produced isotopically labelled in Escherichia coli. Here the 1 H, 13 C, and 15 N NMR chemical shift assignment for BeKdgF is reported.
