A Study in Yellow: Investigations in the Stereoselectivity of Ene-Reductases

Fabio Parmeggiani et al.

Summary: Ene-reductases from the Old Yellow Enzyme (OYE) superfamily are efficient biocatalytic alternatives for asymmetric reduction of C=C bonds, offering broad substrate tolerance and excellent stereoselectivities. They can produce a wide range of chiral intermediates used in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, flavors, fragrances, and fine chemicals.

Highly Efficient One-Pot Multienzyme Cascades for the Stereoselective Synthesis of Natural Naphthalenones

Arijit De et al.

Summary: In this study, a biocatalytic cascade was developed for the one-pot reduction of plumbagin and synthesis of other organic compounds with high stereoselectivity and yields. The investigation also revealed the substrate specificity of tetrahydroxynaphthalene reductase and the high catalytic efficiency of NostocER and T4HNR towards plumbagin and dihydroplumbagin, respectively.

Photoenzymatic Reductions Enabled by Direct Excitation of Flavin-Dependent Ene-Reductases

Braddock A. Sandoval et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates that direct excitation of flavin hydroquinone within ene-reductase active sites enables new substrates to participate in photoenzymatic reactions, expanding the range of catalysis. The enzymes gain the ability to reduce acrylamides through a single electron transfer mechanism upon photoexcitation.

Biocatalytic Approaches to the Enantiomers of Wieland-Miescher Ketone and its Derivatives

Susanna Bertuletti et al.

Summary: Biocatalytic approaches have been explored for isolating the enantiomers of Wieland-Miescher ketone and its alcoholic derivatives, with enzymes catalyzing the conversion of racemic compounds into diastereomers with high efficiency. The products obtained showed high enantiomeric excess, and simple chemical modifications allowed for the isolation of missing enantiomers.
