Screening of Acetaldehyde-Tolerant Deoxyriboaldolase and Its Application for DR5P Synthesis 

The difficulty in the chemical synthesis of 2 -deoxyribonucleoside lies in the generation of 2-deoxyribosyl groups. The chemical syntheses of 2-deoxyribosyl groups and further to 2 -deoxyribonucleosides involve complex protection and deprotection steps [8-11]. It is likely that the introduction of biochemical reactions with
