利用人工氧还酶体系催化L-苹果酸氧化脱羧反应

利用含人工氧还酶体系的粗酶液代替纯酶催化反应,以省去酶分离纯化过程.由苹果酸酶突变体ME-t(MEL310R/Q401C)和非天然辅酶烟酰胺5-氟胞嘧啶二核苷酸(NFCD+)组成的人工氧还酶体系可以催化氧化L-苹果酸生成丙酮酸,并得到非天然辅酶的还原态(NFCDH).利用含人工氧还酶体系的粗酶液催化反应,只得到单一产物丙酮酸,其选择性与纯酶催化的相同.来自粪肠球菌Enterococcus faecalis的NADH氧化酶(NOX)可再生NFCD+.与含NAD+,ME粗酶液和NOX粗酶液的偶联反应体系相比,含NFCD+,ME-t粗酶液和NOX粗酶液的体系获得的丙酮酸产率高9%,而副产物乳酸明显减少.可见人工氧还酶体系使用更方便,且产物选择性更高,有望代替纯酶催化反应.这为降低生物催化剂的成本,扩大生物催化反应的应用提供了一种新的策略.

Catalytic Biorefining of Plant Biomass to Non‐Pyrolytic Lignin Bio‐Oil and Carbohydrates through Hydrogen Transfer Reactions

Through catalytic hydrogen transfer reactions, a new biorefining method results in the isolation of depolymerized lignin—a non‐pyrolytic lignin bio‐oil—in addition to pulps that are amenable to enzymatic hydrolysis. Compared with organosolv lignin, the lignin bio‐oil is highly susceptible to further hydrodeoxygenation under low‐severity conditions and therefore establishes a unique platform for lignin valorization by heterogeneous catalysis. Overall, the potential of a catalytic biorefining method designed from the perspective of lignin utilization is reported.

Adsorption–Catalytic Test Methods

In the development of a new hybrid adsorption–catalytic method it was shown that the selective adsorption isolation of components can be combined with their catalytic determination directly on the adsorbent. To provide theoretical grounds and find fields of the application of the new method, the effect of the support matrix on the rate of catalytic (enzymatic and indicator) reactions was studied. The changes in the performance characteristics of procedures for determining inorganic and organic substances directly on the adsorbent with respect to those of procedures for determining in solutions were analyzed. It was proved that the development of catalytic test procedures with the visual detection of the analytical signal is expedient.     

Comparative study of lipolysis by PLA2 of DOPC substrates organized as monolayers, bilayer vesicles and nanocapsules

The water-soluble lipolytic enzymes act at the interface of insoluble lipid substrates, where the catalytical step is coupled with various interfacial phenomena as enzyme penetration, solubilization of reaction products, loss of mechanical stability of organized assemblies of phospholipids molecule, etc. One biologically relevant example is the enzymatic hydrolysis of DOPC by PLA(2), which results in cleavage of phospholipids molecules into water insoluble lipolytic products, namely oleic acid and lysophospholipid. In general, the enzymatic activity depends on the substrate organization and molecular environment of the catalytic reaction. The lipolysis by phospholipase A(2) of dioleoylphosphatidylcholine substrates organized as monolayer, bilayers vesicles and lipid nanocapsules was studied by measuring the decrease of the surface area at constant surface pressure or increase of the surface pressure at constant area at air-water interface. A kinetic model describing the coupling of the catalytic act with corresponding interfacial phenomena was developed. By using the kinetic model the values for the global hydrolytic kinetic constants were obtained. The obtained value for the monolayer is five orders of magnitude higher than this obtained with small unilamellar vesicles and six orders of magnitude higher then those obtained with lipid nanocapsules. The comparison shows that the enzymatic catalytic act occurring in the lipid environment of the monolayer is more efficacious than at the vesicle and nanocapsules interfaces.     

Single-molecule Michaelis-Menten equations

This paper summarizes our present theoretical understanding of single-molecule kinetics associated with the Michaelis-Menten mechanism of enzymatic reactions. Single-molecule enzymatic turnover experiments typically measure the probability density f(t) of the stochastic waiting time t for individual turnovers. While f(t) can be reconciled with ensemble kinetics, it contains more information than the ensemble data; in particular, it provides crucial information on dynamic disorder, the apparent fluctuation of the catalytic rates due to the interconversion among the enzyme's conformers with different catalytic rate constants. In the presence of dynamic disorder, f(t) exhibits a highly stretched multiexponential decay at high substrate concentrations and a monoexponential decay at low substrate concentrations. We derive a single-molecule Michaelis-Menten equation for the reciprocal of the first moment of f(t), 1/, which shows a hyperbolic dependence on the substrate concentration [S], similar to the ensemble enzymatic velocity. We prove that this single-molecule Michaelis-Menten equation holds under many conditions, in particular when the intercoversion rates among different enzyme conformers are slower than the catalytic rate. However, unlike the conventional interpretation, the apparent catalytic rate constant and the apparent Michaelis constant in this single-molecule Michaelis-Menten equation are complicated functions of the catalytic rate constants of individual conformers. We also suggest that the randomness parameter r, defined as <(t - )2> / t2, can serve as an indicator for dynamic disorder in the catalytic step of the enzymatic reaction, as it becomes larger than unity at high substrate concentrations in the presence of dynamic disorder.

Novel enzymatic assay for determination of alkyl polyglycosides with short chain fatty alcohols

An enzymatic assay has been developed for the quantitative detection of alkyl polyglycosides after enzymatic hydrolysis with different carbohydrolases. A three-step enzymatic method was used for the quantification of alkyl polyglycosides. In the first step the enzymatic hydrolysis of alkyl polyglycosides was performed with different carbohydrolases, or an acid hydrolysis was used. The second step was quantification of free glucose with an enzyme electrode, which was covered with an immobilized glucose oxidase membrane; glucose was used as standard. The last step was the enzymatic quantification of fatty alcohols, which are the second substrate after enzymatic hydrolysis of alkyl polyglycosides. Surprisingly, the enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase ADH (E.C. 1.1.1.1) from bakers' yeast could efficiently oxidize a wide variety of aliphatic alcohols and had the highest catalytic specificity with short and medium fatty alcohol substrates, including octanol and decanol.     

Electroanalysis of D-Amino Acid Oxidase and Its Interaction with Hydrogen Peroxide

Abstract

We have first obtained the direct electrochemistry of D-amino acid oxidase with a polyethylenimine modified pyrolytic graphite electrode and the electrochemical response related to the catalytic reaction to the substrates. Further studies reveal that the enzyme may exhibit different substrate specificity. Taking D-serine as a model, we have also presented an electrochemical method to detect this amino acid and have studied the effect of hydrogen peroxide on the catalytic activity of this enzyme. It is found that hydrogen peroxide can lower the enzymatic activity of this enzyme.     

Exhausted Jackknife Validation Exemplified by Prediction of Temperature Optimum in Enzymatic Reaction of Cellulases

This was the continuation of our previous study along the same line with more focus on technical details because the data are usually divided into two datasets, one for model development and the other for model validation during the development of predictive model. The widely used validation method is the delete-1 jackknife validation. However, no systematical studies were conducted to determine whether the jackknife validation with different deletions works better because the number of validations with different deletions increases in a factorial fashion. Therefore it is only small dataset that can be used for such an exhausted study. Cellulase is an enzyme playing an important role in modern industry, and many parameters related to cellulase in enzymatic reactions were poorly documented. With increased interests in cellulases in bio-fuel industry, the prediction of parameters in enzymatic reactions is listed on agenda. In this study, two aims were defined (a) which amino acid property works better to predict the temperature optimum and (b) with which deletion the jackknife validation works. The results showed that the amino acid distribution probability works better in predicting the optimum temperature of catalytic reaction by cellulase, and the delete-4, more precisely one-fifth deletion, jackknife validation works better.     

Towards perfect catalytic asymmetric synthesis: dual activation of the electrophile and the nucleophile

The design and development of new high-performance catalysts for applications in asymmetric catalytic reactions is of ongoing interest in organic chemistry. The combination of a Lewis acid and a Lewis base working in concert is now considered state of the art in stereoselective syntheses. The synergistic activation by two or more reactive centers allows high reaction rates and excellent transfer of stereochemical information. Despite the self-quenching reaction between Lewis acids and Lewis bases that might lead to an inactive catalyst, considerable effort has been directed towards the development of the dual-activation concept. The ultimate goal is to mimic nature by the discovery of catalytic systems analogous to enzymatic processes that involve metal-ion cocatalysts. With this aim, the dual activation concept greatly broadens the range of artificial catalysts. The most efficient catalytic systems are reviewed, and the mechanisms of action are discussed.
