Read Full License Page 1/20 Abstract The cross-linked enzyme aggregates (CLEAs) are one of the technologies that quickly immobilize the enzyme without a carrier. This carrier-free immobilization method has the advantages of simple operation, high reusability and low cost. In this study, ionic liquid with amino group (1-aminopropyl-3- methylimidazole bromideIL) was used as the novel functional surface molecule to modify industrialized lipase (Candida rugosa lipase, CRL). The enzymatic properties of the prepared CRL-FIL-CLEAs were investigated. The activity of CRL-FIL-CLEAs (5.51 U/mg protein) was 1.9 times higher than that of CRL- CLEAs without surface modication (2.86 U/mg protein). After incubation at 60℃ for 50 min, CRL-FIL- CLEAs still maintained 61% of its initial activity, while the value for CRL-CLEAs was only 22%. After repeated use for ve times, compared with the 22% residual activity of CRL-CLEAs, the value of CRL-FIL- CLEAs was 51%. Further kinetic analysis indicated that the Km values for CRL-FIL-CLEAs and CRL-CLEAs were 4.80 mM and 8.06 mM, respectively, which was inferred that the anity to substrate was increased after modication.

Published 2012 by Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA. j3 1 Introduction – Principles and Historical Landmarks of Enzyme Catalysis in Organic Synthesis Harald Gr€oger and Yasuhisa Asano 1.1 General Remarks Enzyme catalysis in organic synthesis – behind this term stands a technology that today is widely recognized as a first choice opportunity in the preparation of a wide range of chemical compounds. Notably, this is true not only for academic syntheses but also for industrial-scale applications [1]. For numerous molecules the synthetic routes based on enzyme catalysis have turned out to be competitive (and often superior!) compared with classic chemicalaswellaschemocatalyticsynthetic approaches. Thus, enzymatic catalysis is increasingly recognized by organic chemists in both academia and industry as an attractive synthetic tool besides the traditional organic disciplines such as classic synthesis, metal catalysis, and organocatalysis [2]. By means of enzymes a broad range of transformations relevant in organic chemistry can be catalyzed, including, for example, redox reactions, carbon–carbon bond forming reactions, and hydrolytic reactions. Nonetheless, for a long time enzyme catalysis was not realized as a first choice option in organic synthesis. Organic chemists did not use enzymes as catalysts for their envisioned syntheses because of observed (or assumed) disadvantages such as narrow substrate range, limited stability of enzymes under organic reaction conditions, low efficiency when using wild-type strains, and diluted substrate and product solutions, thus leading to non-satisfactory volumetric productivities.

Av. Carlos Chagas Filho s/n, bloco G, sala 60, subsolo - 21941-902. Cidade Universitária, Rio de Janeiro, RJ. Brasil. Article history: Received: 30 July 2017; revised: 10 October 2017; accepted: 08 March 2018. Available online: 11 March 2018. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.17807/orbital.v10i4.1057 Abstract: Pyrethroids are chiral insecticides characterized by stereoisomerism, which occurs due to the presence of one to three asymmetric (chiral) carbons, generating one or two pairs of cis/trans diastereomers, and two or four pairs of enantiomers. Diastereomers have equal chemical properties and different physical properties, while enantiomer pairs, have the same physicochemical properties, with exception by the ability to deviate the plane of polarized light to the right or to the left. However, stereoisomers exhibit different toxicities at the metabolic level, presenting enzyme and receptor selectivity in biological systems. Studies in aquatic organisms have shown that toxic effects are caused by specific enantiomers (1R-cis and 1R-trans) and that those cause potential estrogenic effects (1S-cis and 1S- trans). In this context, the same compound can have wide-ranging effects in organisms. Therefore, several studies have highlighted pyrethroid stereochemical selectivity in different environmental matrices. The analytical ability to distinguish the diastereomeric and enantiomeric patterns of these compounds is fundamental for understanding the processes of biotransformation, degradation environmental behavior and ecotoxicological impacts.

This work describes the optimization of the so-called “double-racemase hydantoinase process,” a system of four enzymes used to produce optically pure L-amino acids from a racemic mixture of hydantoins. The four proteins were immobilized separately, and, based on their specific activity, the optimal whole relation was determined. The first enzyme, D,L-hydantoinase, preferably hydrolyzes D-hydantoins from D,L-hydantoins to N-carbamoyl-D-amino acids. The remaining L-hydantoins are racemized by the second enzyme, hydantoin racemase, and continue supplying substrate D-hydantoins to the first enzyme. N-carbamoyl-D-amino acid is racemized in turn to N-carbamoyl-L-amino acid by the third enzyme, carbamoyl racemase. Finally, the N-carbamoyl-L-amino acid is transformed to L-amino acid by the fourth enzyme, L-carbamoylase.
