Bioproduction of Enantiopure (R)- and (S)-2-Phenylglycinols from Styrenes and Renewable Feedstocks

Balaji Sundara Sekar et al.

Summary: Enzyme cascades were developed to convert styrene into enantiopure (R)- and (S)-2-phenylglycinols, as well as other substituted styrenes and indene into substituted phenylglycinols and 1-amino-2-indanol with high enantioselectivity. Enantioselective enzyme cascades were also developed to produce (R)- and (S)-2-phenylglycinols from bio-based L-phenylalanine. Combining L-phenylalanine biosynthesis pathway with enantioselective cascade in one strain or coupled strains enabled the synthesis of (R)- and (S)-2-phenylglycinols from renewable feedstocks, enhancing production from glucose and glycerol.

One-Pot Enzymatic-Chemical Cascade Route for Synthesizing Aromatic α-Hydroxy Ketones

Lei Wang et al.

Summary: A one-pot enzymatic-chemical cascade route was developed to synthesize 2-Hydroxyacetophenone (2-HAP) with a final yield of 92.7%. The introduction of stereospecific carbonyl reductases allowed for further transformation of 2-HAP into (S)- and (R)-1-phenyl-1,2-ethanediol. This method shows potential for synthesizing other valuable chemicals by cascading spontaneous chemical and enzymatic reactions.

Alternative binding modes in abortive NADH-alcohol complexes of horse liver alcohol dehydrogenase

Bryce Plapp et al.

Summary: Enzymes exhibit high specificity for substrates, but can accommodate multiple binding modes. High resolution X-ray crystallography revealed alternative binding modes of NADH and alcohols in the active site. Different substrates lead to variations in the structures of the enzyme-NADH complexes.
