Site-saturation mutagenesis is a powerful tool for protein optimization due to its efficiency and simplicity. A degenerate codon NNN or NNS (K) often used encode the 20 standard amino acids, but this will produce redundant codons cause uneven distribution of acids in constructed library. Here we present novel "small-intelligent" strategy construct libraries that have minimal gene library size without inherent acid biases, stop codons, rare Escherichia coli by coupling well-designed...

Thermophilic proteins have various practical applications in theoretical research and industry. In recent years, the demand for thermophilic on an industrial scale has been increasing; therefore, engineering of become a hot direction field protein engineering. However, exact mechanism thermostability is not yet known, knowing basis necessary. order to understand proteins, we made statistical analysis sequences, secondary structures, hydrogen bonds, salt bridges, DHA (Donor–Hydrogen–Accepter)...

Thermophilic proteins have important application value in biotechnology and industrial processes. The correct identification of thermophilic provides information for the these engineering. method based on biochemistry is laborious, time-consuming, high cost. Therefore, there an urgent need a fast accurate to identify proteins. Considering this urgency, we constructed reliable benchmark dataset containing 1,368 1,443 non-thermophilic A multi-layer perceptron (MLP) model multi-feature fusion...

[figure: see text] The halohydrin dehalogenase from Agrobacterium radiobacter AD1 catalyzed the highly enantioselective and beta-regioselective azidolysis of (substituted) styrene oxides. By means kinetic resolutions remaining epoxide formed azido alcohol could be obtained in very high ee. In a large scale conversion, decrease yield selectivity due to uncatalyzed chemical side reaction overcome by slow addition azide.

Halo alcohol dehalogenase HheC catalyzes the highly enantioselective dehalogenation of vicinal halo alcohols to epoxides, as well reverse reaction, and β-regioselective nucleophilic ring opening epoxides by pseudo-halides such azide cyanide. To investigate this latter we determined X-ray structures complexes with favored unfavored enantiomers para-nitrostyrene oxide. The aromatic parts two bind in a very similar way, but epoxide (S)-enantiomer binds nonproductive inverted manner, oxygen Cβ...

Abstract The halohydrin dehalogenase from Agrobacterium radiobacter AD1 (HheC) catalyzes nucleophilic ring opening of epoxides with cyanide and azide. In the case 2,2‐disubstituted epoxides, this reaction proceeds excellent enantioselectivity (E values up to>200), which gives, by kinetic resolution, access to various enantiopure β‐substituted tertiary alcohols ( ee 99 %). Since enzyme has a broad substrate range because these are difficult prepare in other ways, HheC is an attractive...

ABSTRACT Halohydrin dehalogenase from Agrobacterium radiobacter AD1 (HheC) is a valuable tool in the preparation of R enantiomers epoxides and β-substituted alcohols. In contrast, halohydrin Arthrobacter sp. AD2 (HheA) shows low S enantioselectivity toward most aromatic substrates. Here, three amino acids (V136, L141, N178) located two neighboring active-site loops HheA were proposed to be key residues for controlling enantioselectivity. They subjected saturation mutagenesis aimed at...

Abstract Halohydrin dehalogenases (HHDHs) possess an unnatural activity of introducing functionalities such as N 3 , CN, NO 2 etc., into a molecule through the ring‐opening reaction epoxides. The enantioselectivity HHDHs is substrate‐dependent and not always high enough for synthetic applications. B‐group has been neglected in past, due to observed low based on performance relatively limited number substrates. Extensive screening substrates HheB2 from Mycobacterium sp. GP1 HheB...
