title: A new affinity ligand for the isolation of a single 'feruloyl esterase' (FAE-III) from Aspergillus niger.
abstract: 8-Aminooctyl 5'-S-coniferyl-5'-deoxy-thio-alpha-L-arabinofuranoside has been synthesised and shown to be a selective affinity ligand for the feruloyl esterase III of Aspergillus niger. The hydrolyses of methyl 5-O-coumaroyl, feruloyl, or sinapoyl alpha-L-arabinofuranosides by this enzyme proceed at comparable rates.
