Magnetically induced enzymatic cascades - advancing towards multi-fuel direct/mediated bioelectrocatalysis.

Nanoscale Adv

ETH Zürich, Nanotechnology Group Säumerstrasse 4, CH-8803 Rüschlikon Switzerland

Published: May 2019

A generic method to magnetically assemble enzymatic cascades on electrode surfaces is introduced. The versatile method enables the simultaneous activation of both direct and mediated electron transfer bioelectrocatalysis to harness different substrates, which can serve as multiple fuels and oxidizers in biofuel cells generating clean energy.

Between scents and sterols: Cyclization of labdane-related diterpenes as model systems for enzymatic control of carbocation cascades.

J Biol Chem

December 2024

Roy J. Carver Department of Biochemistry, Biophysics & Molecular Biology, Iowa State University, Ames, IA 50011, USA.

The citrus scent arises from the volatile monoterpene limonene, whose cyclic nature can be viewed as a miniaturized form of the poly-cyclic sterol triterpenoids. In particular, as these rings are all formed from poly-isoprenyl precursors via carbocation cascades. However, the relevant reactions are initiated by distinct mechanisms, either lysis/ionization of an allylic diphosphate ester bond, as in limonene synthases, or protonation of a terminal olefin or epoxide, as in lanosterol synthases.

Overexpressed AXL kinase is involved in various human malignancies, which incurs tumor progression, poor prognosis, and drug resistance. Suppression of the aberrant AXL axis with genetic tools or small-molecule inhibitors has achieved valid antitumor efficacies in both preclinical studies and clinical antitumor campaigns. Herein we will report the design, synthesis, and structure-activity relationship (SAR) exploration of a series of anilinopyrimidine type II AXL inhibitors.

Federal Research Center, Pushchino Center for Biological Research of Russian Academy of Sciences, G.K. Skryabin Institute of Biochemistry and Physiology of Microorganisms, Prospekt Nauki, 5, 142290 Pushchino, Moscow Region, Russia.

Testosterone (TS) and its 1(2)-dehydrogenated derivative boldenone (BD) are widely used in medicine, veterinary science and as precursors in organic synthesis of many therapeutic steroids. Green production of these compounds is possible from androstenedione (AD) enzymatically, or from phytosterol (PS) using fermentation stages. In this study, the ascomycete sp.

Multienzyme Cascade Synthesis of Rare Sugars From Glycerol in Bacillus subtilis.

Biotechnol J

December 2024

Key Laboratory of Carbohydrate Chemistry and Biotechnology, Ministry of Education, Jiangnan University, Wuxi, Jiangsu, China.

Background: Rare sugars are valuable and unique monosaccharides extensively utilized in the food, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries. Considering the high purification costs and the complex processes of enzymatic synthesis, whole-cell conversion has emerged as a significantly important alternative. The Escherichia coli strain was initially used in whole-cell synthesis of rare sugars.

Synthetic photobiocatalysts are promising catalysts for valuable chemical transformations by harnessing solar energy inspired by natural photosynthesis. However, the synergistic integration of all of the components for efficient light harvesting, cascade electron transfer, and efficient biocatalytic reactions presents a formidable challenge. In particular, replicating intricate multiscale hierarchical assembly and functional segregation involved in natural photosystems, such as photosystems I and II, remains particularly demanding within artificial structures.
