Download or read book Catalytic and Biocatalytic Methods for the Efficient Synthesis of Biologically Relevant Non Proteinogenic Amino Acids written by Anke Lemke and published by Cuvillier Verlag. This book was released on 2014-04-29 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Non-proteinogenic amino acids are often important constituents of biologically potent natural products. The synthesis of these amino acids is often time-consuming, non-trivial and not sustainable. Thus, the central topic of this work was the formation of unusual amino acid structures by biocatalytic and catalytic methods. For the elucidation of the biosynthetic pathway of Streptomyces-produced muraymycins and related natural products, a ‘biosynthetic tool kit’ was compiled and prepared. This does not only comprehend the completed synthesis of deuterium-labeled compounds, such as (3R)- and (3S)-3-hydroxy-[5-2H]-l-arginine and other potential intermediates with a nucleosidic structure, but it also includes the development of fermentation methodology including the possibility to detect the muraymycin derivatives by LC MS. Furthermore, different synthetic routes with catalytic key steps for the preparation of the non-proteinogenic amino acid enduracididine were investigated.

Download or read book Biocatalytic Synthesis of gamma hydroxy Amino Acids and Computational Exploration of Sequence activity Landscapes written by Jonathan Michael Ellis and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through the course of evolution, Nature has developed a swath of useful enzymes for catalyzing chemical reactions crucial to life. These enzymes are used in complex metabolic cascades to produce a wide variety of useful natural products in a chemo-, regio-, and stereoselective fashion. These enzymes can be adopted in synthetic chemistry contexts to afford powerful tools for synthesizing complex molecules in a green way. Through protein engineering, it is possible to further expand the applicability of these enzymes, and by using computational modelling tools, it is possible to accelerate the engineering process. Here, I discuss my efforts in engineering two useful enzymes pyridoxal 5'-phosphate-dependent enzymes, UstD and RgnTDC, to expand their substrate scopes and applicability. UstD is capable of directly installing an amino acid moiety into electrophilic aldehyde substrates through a decarboxylative aldol-like reaction from L-aspartic acid. Through multiple rounds of directed evolution, including linear regression guided evolution, we were able to improve the activity and expressibility of UstD. Through mechanistic studies and crystallography, we have begun probing the complex catalytic cycle that enables UstD to perform its catalyzed reaction, as well as laying the foundation for structure guided evolution. Complementary to UstD, RgnTDC is a l-tryptophan decarboxylase which is able to decarboxylate amino acids and generate precursors to medicinally relevant compounds. Through the use of Substrate Multiplexed Screening (SUMS) in conjunction with logistic regression guided directed evolution and primer-doped mutagenesis, we have created a variety of generalist biocatalysts with diverse active site composition. These variants serve as potential starting points for future engineering campaigns. To help facilitate these future engineering efforts and explore the utility of SUMS, I have also worked to develop computational tools to process and analyze SUMS library screening data. These tools have been integrated into a single web-based program, titled the SUMS Interactive Processing Software (SIPS), and have been developed with broad applicability and community use in mind.

Download or read book Biocatalytic Synthesis of Bioactive Compounds written by Josefina Aleu and published by MDPI. This book was released on 2020-12-02 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Biocatalysis, the application of enzymes as catalysts for chemical synthesis, has become an increasingly valuable tool for the synthetic chemist. Enzymatic transformations carried out by enzymes or whole-cell catalysts are used for the production of a wide variety of compounds ranging from bulk to fine chemicals. The primary consideration for the incorporation of biotransformation in a synthetic sequence is regio- and stereocontrol that can be achieved with enzyme-catalyzed reactions. Biotransformations are thus becoming accepted as a method for generating optically pure compounds as well as for developing efficient routes to target compounds. This Special Issue aims to address the main applications of biocatalysts, isolated enzymes, and whole microorganisms in the synthesis of bioactive compounds and their precursors.

Download or read book Biocatalysis written by D.A. Abramowicz and published by Springer. This book was released on 1990-06-30 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The action of enzymes fascinated mankind long before they were rec ognized for the complex chemicals that they are. The first application of these remarkable compounds to produce ethanol by fermentation is lost to antiquity. Payer and Persoz (Ann. Chim. Phys. , 53, 73 (1833ii)) appear to have provided the first step toward understanding this com plex area when they reported the isolation of diastase in 1833. These workers showed that diastase could catalyze the hydrolysis of starches to sugars. Somewhat earlier Kirchhoff (Schwigger's Journal, 4, 108 (1812)) had shown that a small amount of dilute acid could hydrolyze a seemingly endless amount of starch to sugars. The genius of Berzelius recognized the commonality of these two observations in connection with a few other isolated observations and in 1834 coined the term catalysis to describe such actions. Professor Leibig was one of the giants of the chemical world in 1840. In addition to his own work, Liebig was training the world's next generation of chemists in his laboratory in Giessen. This cadre of chemists were very impressed by the master teacher so that is it only natural that Liebig's views should dominate with this next generation of chemists. Leibig was, in the 1830s and 1840s, developing his mastery of agricultural chemistry. The mechanism of putrefication was of great concern to Leibig, and he turned to the newly defined area of catalysis for an explanation.

Download or read book Engineering Aminotransferases for the Biocatalytic Production of Aromatic D Amino Acids written by Curtis James William Walton and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Optically pure aromatic D-amino acids, such as D-phenylalanine (D-Phe) and its derivatives, are high-value building blocks for the pharmaceutical industry. These compounds can be prepared using biocatalytic methods relying on various enzymes, including aminotransferases (ATs). ATs, also called transaminases (EC 2.6.1.X), are a subclass of pyridoxal 5'-phosphate-dependent enzymes that catalyze the transfer of the amino group from a donor substrate to a ketone acceptor. Synthesis of optically-pure amino acids using whole-cell biocatalytic cascades based on ATs possess several advantages compared to traditional chemical methods, including excellent enantioselectivity and increased process and step efficiency, which is achieved through the catalysis of multiple steps in one-pot reactions without requirement for intermediate work-ups, cofactor recycling, or toxic metals. However, enzyme biocatalysts typically need to be engineered to alter their substrate specificity or to increase their catalytic efficiency, which has limited their industrial application. Therefore, to facilitate the engineering process of ATs broadly and to produce aromatic D-amino acids, we developed a high-throughput assay for the testing of a broad range of ATs against libraries of potential substrates, and developed a biocatalytic cascade to produce optically pure aromatic D-amino acids.
