Hydrolysis synthesis

Although the pre-RNA world is now much more the centre of scientific attention in prebiotic chemistry, there have been several attempts in recent years to understand the synthesis of oligonucleotides from the normal nucleotides by using simulation experiments (Ferris, 1998). In condensation reactions in aqueous media, there is always competition between synthesis and hydrolysis synthesis is generally only successful when supported by catalysts.

Summary. Fi-ATPase is a molecular motor in which the central 7 subunit rotates inside the cylinder made of asPg subunits. The rotation is powered by ATP hydrolysis in three catalytic sites, and reverse rotation of the y subunit by an external force leads to ATP synthesis in the catalytic sites. Single-molecule studies have revealed how the mechanical rotation is coupled to the chemical reactions in the three catalytic sites binding/release of ATP, ADP, and phosphate, and hydrolysis/synthesis of ATP.

Phospholipases are very versatile enzymes which allow the transformation of inexpensive natural products into highly valuable compounds like specific structurally defined phospholipids, organic monophosphates or diphosphates and DAG with the natural absolute configuration. Of particular synthetic utility is PLD from bacterial sources which is able to effect the phosphoryl transfer in a water-containing biphasic system. PLD shows a wide substrate specificity for both the polar head and the alcohol acceptors as well as for the lipophilic part of the molecule. The enzyme behaves like a generic phosphodiesterase with broad substrate specificity and high transphosphatidylation ability. The molecular basis of this behavior should become clear by inspection of the three-dimensional structure and comparison with other phosphoric acid ester hydrolytic enzymes. The crystal structure of this enzyme has not been elucidated. The potential of the many different PLD from plants which show peculiar substrate specificity should allow one to expand the synthetic utility to the hydrolysis-synthesis of natural and unnatural phosphatidylinositols. 

Microwave-assisted hydrolysis synthesis of (1, fi-arylated acetaldehyde (7b). The enol ether (6b) was placed in a Smith process vial together with 0.25 mL water, 0.25 mL concentrated HC1 and 1.0 mL toluene. The tube was sealed and positioned in a Smith synthesiser rack. After microwave irradiation at 180 °C for 2 minutes and subsequent cooling the reaction mixture was carefully neutralized with 2 M sodium hydroxide and extracted with diethyl ether. After drying with potassium carbonate (solid) and evaporation of the solvent the crude aldehyde (7b) (98%) was obtained as a yellow oil (> 95% pure by GC-MS). NMR and IR spectra were quickly recorded on this air and light sensitive compound. 

According to the Warwick Biotransformation Club Database in 1987/88 [60], approximately 65% of all applications reported fell into the classes of esterolytic reactions (ester hydrolysis, synthesis or transesterification) (40%) and dehydrogenase reactions (25%). Next in importance were oxygenase-mediated reactions, peptide and oligosaccharide synthesis, which together comprise 24% of the total. Reports of enzymatic procedures for carbon-carbon bond formation were very few in number (2%). All other reaction types comprised less than 10% of the total.
