Alternative enzymatic pathways to penicillin antibiotics
Abstract The discovery of penicillin, more than a century ago, has been one of the most significant advances in medicine. Despite the growing threat of antimicrobial resistance, which has rendered many other antibiotics ineffective, penicillin derivatives remain among the most widely prescribed antibiotics. Penicillin is biosynthesised by a large nonribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS) enzyme, which assembles a tripeptide precursor ACV.
Integrating Enzymes with Photoredox Catalysis for Conversion of Nitriles into Fluorinated Products
Supporting Information As a service to our authors and readers, this journal provides supporting information supplied by the authors. Such materials are peer reviewed and may be re-organized for online delivery, but are not copy-edited or typeset. Technical support issues arising from supporting information (other than missing files) should be addressed to the authors.
Enzymatic Cascades for Stereoselective and Regioselective Amide Bond Assembly
Introduction Due to their exquisite selectivity, evolvability and mild aqueous operating conditions, enzymes can provide attractive routes to pharmaceuticals and other molecules that would otherwise necessitate polluting chemical synthesis.1-6 The advantages of biocatalytic processes are not only limited to the activity of single enzymes but can be broadened by using multiple enzymes in a single process.
Discovery, characterization and engineering of ligases for amide synthesis
Abstract Coronatine and related bacterial phytotoxins are mimics of the hormone jasmonyl-l-isoleucine (JA-Ile), which mediates physiologically important plant signalling pathways1,2,3,4. Coronatine-like phytotoxins disrupt these essential pathways and have potential in the development of safer, more selective herbicides.
Nitrosonium ion catalysis: aerobic, metal-free cross-dehydrogenative carbon-heteroatom bond formation
Catalytic cross-dehydrogenative coupling of heteroarenes with thiophenols and phenothiazines has been developed under mild and environmentally benign reaction conditions. For the first time, NOx+ was applied for catalytic C–S and C–N bond formation. A comprehensive scope for the C–H/S–H and C–H/N–H cross-dehydrogenative coupling was demonstrated with >60 examples. The sustainable cross-coupling conditions utilize ambient oxygen as the terminal oxidant, while water is the sole by-product.
