Enzymatic Synthesis of a High-Purity 200-Nucleotide Strand of DNA
Recently, Marie's group demonstrated the authentically successful O-glycosylation of trans-resveratrol to overcome its low water solubility and stability by
enzymatic synthesis of resveratrol [alpha]-glycosides from [beta]-cyclodextrin-resveratrol complex in water [19].
Enzymatic synthesis has several advantages such as mild reaction conditions, low impurities, low energy needs, minimal waste, product easyly isolated and reusable biocatalyst (5,6).
The concept of using in vitro
enzymatic synthesis to amplify DNA was first mooted in 1971 (1) and demonstrated in 1985 as the "polymerase chain reaction" (2).
This paper unveils the synergism effect achieved using the microwave irradiation technique on
enzymatic synthesis under various optimal conditions.
The reduction on enzymatic activity to amylase after 96 hours of SSF can be attributed to a possible nutrient depletion or accumulation of products that inhibit
enzymatic synthesis or microbial growth (Shafique et al., 2009).

Optimization of
enzymatic synthesis of eugenol ester using statistical approaches.
Although
enzymatic synthesis of bio-based polymers such as PLA was considered, the long reaction time of the
enzymatic synthesis (12 hours) makes it impractical for completion during the laboratory period.
Gene expression begins with the
enzymatic synthesis of an RNA molecule that is a copy of one strand of the DNA segment corresponding to the gene.
