AN ENZYMATIC PROCESS FOR THE SYNTHESIS OF ORGANO-FLUORINE COMPOUNDS

摘要

There is described a process for the synthesis of a fluoronucleoside compound, said process comprising mixing a substrate and an enzyme from Streptomyces cattelya as catalyst. The process may be used to produce an <18>F labelled fluoronucleoside compound. There is also described an enzyme derived from Streptomyces cattelya which has the capacity to catalyse the synthesis of a fluoronucleoside compound.
