Enzymatic design

Fructose—Dextrose Separation. Emctose—dextrose separation is an example of the appHcation of adsorption to nonhydrocarbon systems. An aqueous solution of the isomeric monosaccharide sugars, C H 2Dg, fmctose and dextrose (glucose), accompanied by minor quantities of polysaccharides, is produced commercially under the designation of "high" fmctose com symp by the enzymatic conversion of cornstarch. Because fmctose has about double the sweetness index of dextrose, the separation of fmctose from this mixture and the recycling of dextrose for further enzymatic conversion to fmctose is of commercial interest (see Sugar Sweeteners). 

Genetic manipulation or cloning offers many possibiUties and perhaps there will be yeast strains especially designed for special beers, ie, types, which are usehil because of low diacetyl formation, high—low ester formation, and insensitivity to pressure or high fermentation temperatures or extracellular enzymatic abiUties (P-glucanases). 

It is apparent that the use of enzymatic catalysis continues to grow Greater availabiUty of enzymes, development of new methodologies for thek utilization, investigation of enzymatic behavior in nonconventional environments, and the design and synthesis of new biocatalysts with altered selectivity and increased stabiUty are essential for the successhil development of this field. As more is learned about selectivity of enzymes toward unnatural substrates, the choice of an enzyme for a particular transformation will become easier to predict. It should simplify a search for an appropriate catalyst and help to estabhsh biocatalytic procedures as a usehil supplement to classical organic synthesis. 

This group was designed as an enzymatically cleavable protective group. Cleavage is achieved using an esterase present in mouse plasma or hog liver carboxylate esterase. " ... 

The tetramerization of suitable monopyrroles is one of the simplest and most effective approaches to prepare porphyrins (see Section 1.1.1.1.). This approach, which is best carried out with a-(hydroxymethyl)- or ot-(aminomethyl)pyrroles, can be designated as a biomimetic synthesis because nature also uses the x-(aminomethyl)pyrrole porphobilinogen to produce uroporphyrinogen III. the key intermediate in the biosynthesis of all kinds of naturally occurring porphyrins, hydroporphyrins and corrins. The only restriction of this tetramerization method is the fact that tnonopyrroles with different -substituents form a mixture of four constitutionally isomeric porphyrins named as porphyrins I, II, III, and IV. In the porphyrin biosynthesis starting from porphobilinogen, which has an acetic acid and a propionic acid side chain in the y6-positions, this tetramerization is enzymatically controlled so that only the type III constitutional isomer is formed. 

Even though environmental toxicology could have profound effects on the HS response, there are other considerations where manipulation of the HS response could be beneficial. For example, constitutive induction of the HS response in bacteria could be a potential means to develop super-microbes which could withstand harsh environments while engaging in their genetically-designed function such as scouring oil spills and enzymatically converting toxins into harmless substances. 

Another example of enzyme- and acid-catalyzed DKR has been reported by Bornscheuer [45]. Acyloins were racemized by using an acidic resin through the formation of enol intermediates. The enzymatic resolution was catalyzed by CALB. Since deactivation of this enzyme occurred in the presence of the acidic resin, they designed a simple reactor setup with two glass vials cormected via a pump to achieve a spatial separation between the acidic resin and the enzyme (Figure 4.20).

A Box-Behnken design was employed to investigate statistically the main and interactive effects of four process variables (reaction time, enzyme to substrate ratio, surfactant addition, and substrate pretreatment) on enzymatic conversion of waste office paper to sugars. A response surface model relating sugar yield to the four variables was developed on the basis of the experimental results. The model could be successfully used to identify the most efficient combination of the four variables for maximizing the extent of sugar production. 

We have designed not only polymerized flavonoids but also flavonoid conjugates of various polyamines, in consideration of extension of the amplification of physiological properties of the flavonoids. Polymeric flavonoids were synthesized by the enzymatic oxidative coupling. ...
