Conversion of Furans by Baeyer-Villiger Monooxygenases
Various furans are considered as valuable platform chemicals as they can be derived from plant biomass. Yet, for their exploitation, follow-up chemistry is required. Here we demonstrate that Baeyer-Villiger monooxygenases (BVMOs) can be used as biocatalysts for the selective oxidation of several furans, including 5-(hydroxymethyl) furfural (HMF) and furfural. A total of 15 different BVMOs were ...
متن کاملIdentifying determinants of NADPH specificity in Baeyer-Villiger monooxygenases.
The Baeyer-Villiger monooxygenase (BVMO), 4-hydroxyacetophenone monooxygenase (HAPMO), uses NADPH and O(2) to oxidize a variety of aromatic ketones and sulfides. The FAD-containing enzyme has a 700-fold preference for NADPH over NADH. Sequence alignment with other BVMOs, which are all known to be selective for NADPH, revealed three conserved basic residues, which could account for the observed ...
متن کاملBaeyer-Villiger monooxygenases, an emerging family of flavin-dependent biocatalysts
Baeyer-Villiger monooxygenases (BVMO) are flavoenzymes that catalyze a remarkably wide variety of oxidative reactions such as regioand enantioselective Baeyer-Villiger oxidations and sulfoxidations. Several of these conversions are difficult to achieve using chemical approaches. Due to their selectivity and catalytic efficiency, BVMOs are highly valuable biocatalysts for synthesis of a broad ra...
متن کاملThe Origin and Evolution of Baeyer—Villiger Monooxygenases (BVMOs): An Ancestral Family of Flavin Monooxygenases
The Baeyer-Villiger Monooxygenases (BVMOs) are enzymes belonging to the "Class B" of flavin monooxygenases and are capable of performing exquisite selective oxidations. These enzymes have been studied from a biotechnological perspective, but their physiological substrates and functional roles are widely unknown. Here, we investigated the origin, taxonomic distribution and evolutionary history o...
متن کاملEvolution study of the Baeyer-Villiger monooxygenases enzyme family: functional importance of the highly conserved residues.
Baeyer-Villiger monooxygenases (BVMOs) catalyze the transformation of linear and cyclic ketones into their corresponding esters and lactones by introducing an oxygen atom into a C-C bond. This bioreaction has numerous advantages compared to its chemical version; it does not induce the use of potentially harmful reagents (i.e., green chemistry) and displays significant better enantio- and regio-...
