N-Acetylneuraminic acid aldolase, also called N-acetylneuraminate lyase (NAL). N-Acetylneuraminic acid aldolase, also called N-acetylneuraminate lyase (NAL), which catalyses the reversible aldol reaction of N-acetyl-D-mannosamine and pyruvate to give N-acetyl-D-neuraminic acid (D-sialic acid). It has a widespread application as biocatalyst for the synthesis of sialic acid and its derivatives. This enzyme has been shown to be quite specific for pyruvate as the donor, but flexible to a variety of D- and, to some extent, L-hexoses and pentoses as acceptor substrates. NAL is member of dihydrodipicolinate synthase family that comprises several pyruvate-dependent class I aldolases.
