The adducts of phenylglycidyl ether with 2'-deoxyadenosine (dAdo) and 2'-deoxycytidine (dCyd) exhibit structural modifications. The N-1 adduct of dAdo underwent rearrangement to the N-6 adduct; the N-3 adduct of dCyd was deaminated to the corresponding 2'-deoxyuridine adduct. These structural modifications were studied by using liquid chromatography-electrospray tandem mass spectrometry, and kinetic data for both reactions are presented. The low energy (+) collision-activated dissociation spectra of the dAdo adducts allow the two positional isomers N-1 versus N-6 to be distinguished. The structure of the latter is independently proven by an extended NMR study. For the dCyd and 2'-deoxyuridine adducts, information about the alkylation site is found in the (-) collision-activated dissociation spectra. These spectra show the presence of an unexpected N-4-alkylated dCyd in addition to the two epimeric N-3 adducts.

Article Synopsis
- Enantiopure β-nitroalcohols are vital for synthesizing pharmaceutical compounds, particularly β-adrenergic blockers.
- The study showcases the engineered enzyme HHDHamb, which allows for the selective bio-nitration of phenyl glycidyl ethers to produce chiral β-nitroalcohols using safe nitrite nitrating agents.
- The method achieved high yields and optical purity, and successfully synthesized two enantiomers of the β-adrenergic blocker metoprolol using these β-nitroalcohols as starting materials.

To establish a solvent desorption gas chromatographymethod for the determination of phenyl glycidyl ether (PGE) . From October to December 2020, PGE in the air of workplace was collected with carbon tube and desorbed by 25% acetone-carbon disulfide. The target toxicant was separated with the gas chromatography (GC) column and analyzed with flame ionization detector (FID), and quantified by peak area.

Molecular dynamics simulations and free energy calculations have been used to investigate the effect of ligand binding on the enantioselectivity of an epoxide hydrolase (EH) from Aspergillus niger. Despite sharing a common mechanism, a wide range of alternative mechanisms have been proposed to explain the origin of enantiomeric selectivity in EHs. By comparing the interactions of ( R)- and ( S)-glycidyl phenyl ether (GPE) with both the wild type (WT, E = 3) and a mutant showing enhanced enantioselectivity to GPE (LW202, E = 193), we have examined whether enantioselectivity is due to differences in the binding pose, the affinity for the ( R)- or ( S)- enantiomers, or a kinetic effect.

In order to produce enantiomerically pure epoxides for the synthesis of value-added chemicals, a novel putative epoxide hydrolase (EH) sgeh was cloned and overexpressed in pET28a/Escherichia coli BL21(DE3). The 1047 bp sgeh gene was mined from Streptomyces griseus NBRC 13350 genome sequence. The recombinant hexahistidyl-tagged SGEH was purified (16.

The use of mycelia as biocatalysts has technical and economic advantages. However, there are several difficulties in obtaining accurate results in mycelium-catalysed reactions. Firstly, sample extraction, indispensable because of the presence of mycelia, can bring into the extract components with a similar structure to that of the analyte of interest; secondly, mycelia can influence the recovery of the analyte.
