Engineering of Metabolic Pathways by Artificial Enzyme Channels
نویسندگان
چکیده
Application of industrial enzymes for production of valuable chemical compounds has greatly benefited from recent developments in Systems and Synthetic Biology. Both, in vivo and in vitro systems have been established, allowing conversion of simple into complex compounds. Metabolic engineering in living cells needs to be balanced which is achieved by controlling gene expression levels, translation, scaffolding, compartmentation, and flux control. In vitro applications are often hampered by limited protein stability/half-life and insufficient rates of substrate conversion. To improve stability and catalytic activity, proteins are post-translationally modified and arranged in artificial metabolic channels. Within the review article, we will first discuss the supramolecular organization of enzymes in living systems and second summarize current and future approaches to design artificial metabolic channels by additive manufacturing for the efficient production of desired products.

Prediction of Entrance Length for Magnetohydrodynamics Channels Flow using Numerical simulation and Artificial Neural Network
This paper focuses on using the numerical finite volume method (FVM) and artificial neural network (ANN) in order to propose a correlation for computing the entrance length of laminar magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) channels flow. In the first step, for different values of the Reynolds (Re) and Hartmann (Ha) numbers (600<ReL increases.
متن کاملA review of metabolic and enzymatic engineering strategies for designing and optimizing performance of microbial cell factories
Microbial cell factories (MCFs) are of considerable interest to convert low value renewable substrates to biofuels and high value chemicals. This review highlights the progress of computational models for the rational design of an MCF to produce a target bio-commodity. In particular, the rational design of an MCF involves: (i) product selection, (ii) de novo biosynthetic pathway identification ...

It is estimated that by 2035, more than 130 million adults will suffer from various types of cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, it is very important to know the pathogens of cardiac diseases and investigate new treatments. Also, despite continuous progress in diagnosis, patient education, and risk factor management, myocardial infarction (MI) remains one of the most common causes of morbidity,...
متن کاملDynamic Regulation of Bacterial Metabolic Pathways using Autonomous , Pathway - Independent Control Strategies
Metabolic engineering efforts have so far focused on strain optimization through careful metabolic modeling and tinkering with host genomes, through gene knockouts or knockins, to direct flux in desired channels. These efforts have borne fruit with the development of large manufacturing processes for numerous chemicals. The next challenge for metabolic engineering, however, lies in tackling iss...
متن کاملSystem wide cofactor turnovers can propagate metabolic stability between pathways
Metabolic homeostasis, or low-level metabolic steady state, has long been taken for granted in metabolic engineering, and research priority has always been given to understand metabolic flux control and regulation of the reaction network. In the past, this has not caused concerns because the metabolic networks studied were invariably associated with living cells. Nowadays, there are needs to re...
