Engineering of Enzymes for Selective Catalysis
نویسندگان
چکیده
Naturally occurring enzymes are truly remarkable catalysts. However, many are not suitable for practical synthetic chemistry because of poor substrate or product selectivity. This review highlights recent advances in engineering enzymes for selective catalysis. Selected topics include altering substrate specificity, altering substrate and product selectivity, engineering enzymes that catalyze carboncarbon bond formation or carbon-oxygen bond cleavage and formation, and engineering multi-function enzymes such as polyketide syn-

Selective Oxidation of Lauryl Alcohol to Lauraldehyde under Liquid-Liquid Phase Transfer Catalysis (LL-PTC) with Potassium Chromate as the Oxidizing Agent
In the present research, the selective oxidation of lauryl alcohol to lauraldehyde was studied under liquid-liquid phase transfer conditions using potassium chromate (K2CrO4) as an oxidizing agent and tetrabutyl ammonium bromide (TBAB) as the phase transfer catalyst. Chromium (VI) reagents are used in these oxidations since the alcohols are selectively oxidized <e...
متن کاملMethylation of Naphthalene with Methanol over SAPO-11 Zeolite
Shape-selective methylation of naphthalene (NAPH) over SAPO-11 zeolite was carried out in a fixed-bed flow reactor under atmospheric pressure. Some zeolites, such as H-beta (Hβ), HUSY and ZSM-5 were also evaluated for comparison with SAPO-11 zeolite.The results showed that SAPO-11 exhibited higher stability, higher selectivity of 2,6-dimethylnaphthalene (2,6-DMN), and higher 2,6-/2,7-DMN r...
متن کاملSelective and efficient synthesis of 3-indolyl-2-oxindoles under catalysis of LiClO4
An efficient and convenient protocol for synthesis of 3-hydroxy-3-indolyl-2-oxindoles and 3,3-diindolyl-2-oxindoles is presented here. The syntheses were achieved selectively under catalysis of LiClO4 whereby the products were obtained purely.

متن کاملSubstrate-assisted catalysis: molecular basis and biological significance.
Substrate-assisted catalysis (SAC) is the process by which a functional group in a substrate contributes to catalysis by an enzyme. SAC has been demonstrated for representatives of three major enzyme classes: serine proteases, GTPases, and type II restriction endonucleases, as well as lysozyme and hexose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase. Moreover, structure-based predictions of SAC have been mad...
