Molecular mechanical properties of short-sequence peptide enzyme mimics.
While considerable attempts have been made to recreate the high turnover rates of enzymes using synthetic enzyme mimics, most have failed and only a few have produced minimal reaction rates that can barely be considered catalytic. One particular approach we have focused on is the use of short-sequence peptides that contain key catalytic groups in close proximity. In this study, we designed six ...
متن کاملEngineered Bacterial Mimics of Human Drug Metabolizing Enzyme CYP2C9
Metabolites play a significant role in the pharmacology and toxicity of a drug. Most drugs are substrates for the hepatic P450 oxidases. Commonly, a compound is rendered less toxic, with notable exceptions. Metabolites can impose their own pharmacological, toxicological, and physiological effects, which lead to complications that have resulted in the withdrawal of several drugs from the market ...
متن کاملBase metal complexes as homogeneous catalysts and enzyme mimics.
This article is a short overview of some recent research activity in the Laboratory of Inorganic Synthesis and Catalysis (LSCI) at EPFL-ISIC. It summarizes the work on Ni-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions of non-activated alkyl halides. It then describes and discusses the work on the bio-mimetic chemistry of [Fe]-hydrogenase.
متن کاملCuckoo Fungus Mimics Termite Eggs by Producing the Cellulose-Digesting Enzyme β-Glucosidase
Insects and fungi share a long history of association in various habitats, including the wood-decomposition niche. Fungal mimicry of termite eggs is one of the most striking evolutionary consequences of insect-fungus association. Termites of the genus Reticulitermes often harbor fungal sclerotia, called "termite balls," along with eggs in nursery chambers, whereby the fungus gains a competitor-...
متن کاملNorcoclaurine synthase: mechanism of an enantioselective pictet-spengler catalyzing enzyme.
The use of bifunctional catalysts in organic synthesis finds inspiration in the selectivity of enzymatic catalysis which arises from the specific interactions between basic and acidic amino acid residues and the substrate itself in order to stabilize developing charges in the transition state. Many enzymes act as bifunctional catalysts using amino acid residues at the active site as Lewis acids...
