Prebiotic galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS) were effectively synthesized from lactose in organic-aqueous biphasic media by a novel metagenome-derived β-galactosidase BgaP412. A maximum GOS yield of 46.6% (w/w) was achieved with 75.4% lactose conversion rate in the cyclohexane/buffer system [95:5 (v/v) cyclohexane/buffer] under the optimum reaction conditions (initial lactose concentration = 30% (w/v), T = 50 °C, pH 7.0, and t = 8 h). The corresponding productivity of GOS was approximately 17.5 g L(-1) h(-1). The GOS mixture consisted of tri-, tetra-, and pentasaccharides. Trisaccharides were the chief component of reaction products. These experimental results showed that a low water content, a high initial lactose concentration, and an elevated reaction temperature could significantly promote the transgalactosylation activity of β-galactosidase BgaP412; at the same time, the enhanced GOS yield in an organic-aqueous biphasic system is because of the fact that thermodynamic equilibrium can be shifted to the synthetic direction by reversing the normal hydrolysis.

Article Synopsis
- - Vibegron, a β-adrenergic receptor agonist, is synthesized from a key chiral precursor (1b) using an engineered version of a carbonyl reductase called M5, which was enhanced through loop engineering to improve its catalytic efficiency.
- - The M5 variant displayed an impressive 868-fold increase in catalytic performance and high stereoselectivity (>99% enantiomeric and diastereomeric excess) compared to the wild-type enzyme due to structural modifications in specific loops that aid substrate binding and catalysis.
- - Under optimal conditions, the engineered enzyme M5 achieved over 99% conversion of the substrate within 12 hours, demonstrating its potential for large-scale production of the

The formation of oil-in-water Pickering emulsions stabilized by lamellar zeolite (International Zeolite Association, three-letters code) emulsifier without surface grafting is investigated. The crucial emulsification factors are the oligolayer morphology and amphiphilicity developed upon acidic treatment (NH exchange/calcination, HNO treatment). In contrast with the readily available/abundant hydrophilic ≡Si-OH group in layer , the lipophilicity generated by strong acid sites is another key to the success of emulsification.

Sugar nucleotide-dependent glycosyltransferases are powerful catalysts of the glycosylation of natural products and xenobiotics. The low solubility of the aglycone substrate often limits the synthetic efficiency of the transformation catalyzed. Here, we explored different approaches of solvent engineering for reaction intensification of β-glycosylation of 15HCM (a C15-hydroxylated, plant detoxification metabolite of the herbicide cinmethylin) catalyzed by safflower UGT71E5 using UDP-glucose as the donor substrate.

Halide vacancies cause lattice degradation and nonradiative losses in halide perovskites. In this study, we strategically fill bromide vacancies in CsPbBr perovskite nanocrystals with NaBr, KBr, or CsBr at the organic-aqueous interface for hydrophobic ligand-capped nanocrystals or in a polar solvent (2-propanol) for amphiphilic ligand-capped nanocrystals. Energy-dispersive X-ray spectra, powder X-ray diffraction data, and scanning transmission electron microscopy images help us confirm vacancy filling and the structures of samples.
