Structure-function relationships of epoxide hydrolases and their potential use in biocatalysis

Biochimica Et Biophysica Acta

Abstract

Chiral epoxides and diols are important synthons for manufacturing fine chemicals and pharmaceuticals. The epoxide hydrolases (EC 3.3.2.-) catalyze the hydrolytic ring opening of epoxides producing the corresponding vicinal diol. Several isoenzymes display catalytic properties that position them as promising biocatalytic tools for the generation of enantiopure epoxides and diols. This review focuses on the present data on enzyme structure and function in connection to biocatalytic applications. Available data on biocatalysis employed for purposes of stereospecific ring opening, to produce chiral vicinal diols, and kinetic resolution regimes, to achieve enantiopure epoxides, are discussed and related to results gained from structure-activity studies on the enzyme catalysts. More recent examples of the concept of directed evolution of enzyme function are also presented. The present understanding of structure-activity relationships in epoxide hydrolases regarding chemical catalysis is strong. With the ongoing research, a more detailed view of the factors that influence substrate specificities and stereospecificities is expected to arise. The already present use of epoxide hydrolases in synthetic applications is expected to expand ...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide
