Metalloenzyme-like Catalyzed Isomerizations of Sugars by Lewis Acid Zeolites

Metalloenzyme-like Catalyzed Isomerizations of Sugars by Lewis Acid Zeolites

Isomerization of sugars is used in a variety of industrially relevant processes and in glycolysis. Here, we show that hydrophobic zeolite beta with framework tin or titanium Lewis acid centers isomerizes sugars, e.g., glucose, via reaction pathways that are analogous to those of metalloenzymes. Spec...
