Finally, I want to thank the Italian community of the Turner/Flitsch group, with them I have always felt at home… 5 THESIS STRUCTURE This thesis describes my work on the development of new variants of MAO-N and their application in deracemisation processes or in combination with other chemo- and biocatalysts. An introduction to the work highlights the role of amines as building blocks for drugs and the different methods to synthesise them, in particular using monoamine oxidase will be discussed in detail. The objectives of the thesis are then discussed in a separate chapter. The main body of the thesis consists of six publications which have either already been published or the manuscripts have been submitted or are ready to be submitted. The format of these papers is modified to fit in the template of the thesis, but no modifications are made to the main text. The supplementary information has been edited so that it contains only the experiments that were performed by Diego Ghislieri. References for the paper are at the end of each manuscript numbered as in the submitted version. Initially, there are four papers discussing different enzymes (MAO-N and IRED) used independently. Then, another two papers follow discussing the combination of monoamine oxidase-N with chemocatalysts (Ir-SAV system) and biocatalysts (Berberine Bridge Enzyme) in order to complete a cascade of enzymatic reactions. Another two small chapters follow the first covers the results that have not been published and the second describes the methods not discussed in the papers supplementary information. The last chapter is a conclusion and an overview of the further development of this project. 6 ABSTRACT The development of cost-effective and sustainable catalytic methods for the production of enantiomerically pure chiral amines is a key challenge facing the pharmaceutical and fine chemical industries. There is an increasing demand for broadly applicable synthetic methods which deliver the desired amine product in high yield and enantiomeric excess (e.e.). Previously we have described the development of variants of monoamine oxidase from Aspergillus niger (MAO-N) which are able to mediate the complete conversion of racemic amines to the corresponding enantiomerically pure products in a single step. In this thesis we report a panel of MAO-N variants (D5, D9 and D11) developed in our laboratory, which are able to mediate the deracemisation of primary, secondary and tertiary amines with broad structural features. In particular, we have synthesized and subjected to deracemisation a broad range of tetrahydroisoquinolines and tetrahydro-β-carbolines checking enantioselectivity and enantiopreference of our biocatalysts.

  • Leucine Dehydrogenase of a Thermophilic Anaerobe

The enzymeoverproduced in the clone was purified about 12 fold to homogeneity by heat treatment and another two steps with a yield of46%. The enzyme ofE. coli- pICD242was immunochemically identical with that of C. thermoaceticum. The enzyme has a molecular weight of about 350,000 and consists of six subunits identical in molecular weight (56,000). The enzyme is.not inactivated by heat treatment: at pH 7.2 and 75°C for 15min; at 55°C and various pH's between 6.0 and 10.0 for 10 min. The enzyme catalyzes the oxidative deamination of branched-chain L-amino acids and the reductive amination of their 2-oxo analogues in the presence of NAD+and NADH,respectively. The pro-S hydrogen at C-4 of the dihydronicotin- amide ring of NADHis exclusively transferred to the substrate; the enzyme is B stereospecific. The enzymological properties are very similar to those of the Bacillus stearothermophilus enzyme [T. Ohshima, S. Nagata and K. Soda, Arch. Microbiol., 141, 407 (1985)].

  • Structural Studies on Dehydrogenases
    Structural studies on dehydrogenases A thesis submitted in part fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy By Abdelhamid Elbrghathi B.Sc. (Hons) and M.Sc. University of Benghazi Department of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology University of Sheffield (July2014) Abstract The amino acid dehydrogenase superfamily has good potential for biotechnological use for example, either as enzymes for the production of non- natural amino acids, or for use as biosensors. Despite many years work on this family, there is still a gap understanding aspects of both substrate and cofactor binding and reaction mechanism. The crystal structures of M. smegmatis Glutamate dehydrogenase (GluDH) have been determined in two crystal forms, one of a ternary complex (GluDH/NADP+/2oxoglutarate) at 1.64Å, and one of a binary complex (GluDH/NADPH) at 1.78Å. The binary complex structures of C. symbiosum GluDH, with NAD+ and L-glutamate have also been solved at 1.80 Å and 1.24Å respectively. Comparison of these structures has allowed the nature of coenzyme specificity in GluDHs to be structurally characterized. Analysis of M. smegmatis GluDH/NADP+/2oxoglutarate ternary complex showed that 2- oxoglutarate bound to the enzyme as the gem-diol in an extended conformation, which mimics the structure of the carbinolamine intermediate. This structure, together with the high resolution C. symbiosum GluDH/L- glutamate complex structure, where the substrate binds in a compact, curved conformation have given valuable insights into the progress of the reaction. They show that the substrate alters its conformation during the reaction, explaining how the abortive reduction of the keto acid to the hydroxy acid is prevented, and showing the stereochemistry of attack by ammonia on the keto acid substrate, aspects of the mechanism that have been poorly understood.

  • Surface Modifications for Enhnaced Immobilization of Biomolecules: Applications in Biocatalysis and Immuno-Biosensor
    SURFACE MODIFICATIONS FOR ENHNACED IMMOBILIZATION OF BIOMOLECULES: APPLICATIONS IN BIOCATALYSIS AND IMMUNO-BIOSENSOR DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Yunling Bai, M.S. ***** The Ohio State University 2006 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor S.T. Yang, Advisor Professor James F. Rathman _______________________________ Professor Hua Wang Advisor Graduate Program in Chemical Engineering ABSTRACT The goal of this study is to investigate the application of immobilization technology into various systems: immobilized cell/enzyme bioreactor, affinity chromatography, and BioMEM surface modification. All these three application areas were investigated to solve a particular application problem. R-2-hydroxy-4-phenylbutryic acid (R-HPBA) is an important intermediate in the manufacture of angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors. In this work, a recombinant D- lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) was used to transform 2-oxo-4-phenylbutyric acid (OPBA) to R-HPBA, with concomitant oxidation of β-nitotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) to NAD+. The cofactor NADH was regenerated by formate dehydrogenase (FDH) present in whole cells of Candida boidinii, which were pre-treated with toluene to make them permeable. The whole cells used in the process were more stable and easier to prepare as compared with the isolated FDH from the cells. Kinetic study showed that the reaction rate was dependent on the concentration of cofactor, NAD+, and that both R- HPBA and OPBA inhibited the reaction. A novel method for co-immobilization of whole cells and LDH enzyme on cotton cloth was developed using poly (ethyleneimine) (PEI), which induced the formation of PEI-enzyme-cell aggregates and their adsorption onto cotton cloth, leading to multilayer co-immobilization of cells and enzyme with high loading (0.5 g cell and 8 mg LDH per gram of cotton cloth) and activity yield (>95%).

Its applicability ranges from animal feed additive, ingredient in cosmetic and special nutrients in pharma- ceutical and agriculture felds. Currently, fermentation with the aid of model organisms, is a major method for the production of L-valine. However, achieving the optimal production has often been limited because of the metabolic imbalance in recombinant strains. In this review, the constrains in L-valine biosynthesis are discussed frst. Then, we summarize the current advances in engineering of microbial cell factories that have been developed to address and overcome major challenges in the L-valine production process. Future prospects for enhancing the current L-valine production strategies are also discussed.
