Marine mud is an abundant and largely unexplored source of enzymes with unique properties that may be useful for industrial biotechnological purposes. However, since most microbes cannot cultured in the laboratory, a cultivation-independent metagenomic approach would advantageous identification novel enzymes. Therefore, objective screening lipolytic enzymes, library was constructed using total genomic DNA extracted from marine mud. Based on functional heterologous expression, 34 clones...
α-Amylase plays a pivotal role in broad range of industrial processes. To meet increasing demands biocatalytic tasks, considerable efforts have been made to isolate enzymes produced by extremophiles. However, the relevant data α-amylases from cold-adapted fungi are still insufficient. In addition, bread quality presents particular interest due its high consummation. Thus developing amylases improve textural properties could combine health benefits with good sensory properties. Furthermore,...
Abstract BACKGROUND In our previous study, we successfully identified five peptides from wheat gluten: Ala‐Pro‐Ser‐Tyr (APSY), Leu‐Tyr (LY), Pro‐Tyr (PY), Arg‐Gly‐Gly‐Tyr (RGGY) and Tyr‐Gln (YQ). Molecular docking molecular dynamics simulation methods were employed to investigate the interaction between these antioxidant Kelch‐like ECH‐associated protein 1 (Keap1 protein), revealing mechanism of their non‐competitive binding. addition, total capacity was determined using...
Enzymatic asymmetric synthesis of l-phenylglycine by amino acid dehydrogenases has potential for industrial applications; however, this is hindered their low catalytic efficiency toward high-concentration substrates. We identified and characterized a novel leucine dehydrogenase (MsLeuDH) with high benzoylformic via directed metagenomic approaches. Further, we obtained triple-point mutant MsLeuDH-EER (D332E/G333E/L334R) improved stability through the rational design distal loop 13. A...
Abstract Background A nitrilase-mediated pathway has significant advantages in the production of optically pure (R)-(−)-mandelic acid. However, unwanted byproduct, low enantioselectivity, and specific activity reduce its value practical applications. An ideal nitrilase that can efficiently hydrolyze mandelonitrile to acid without byproduct is needed. Results novel (BCJ2315) was discovered from Burkholderia cenocepacia J2315 through phylogeny-based enzymatic substrate specificity prediction...
Abstract ω‐Transaminases (ω‐TAs) show considerable potential for the synthesis of chiral amines. However, their low catalytic efficiency towards bulky substrates limits application, and complicated mechanisms prevent precise enzyme design. Herein, we address this challenge using a mechanism‐guided computational design strategy by reprograming transition ground states in key reaction steps. The common features among three high‐energy‐barrier steps responsible were revealed quantum mechanics...
(R)-(−)-Mandelic acid is an important chiral building block that widely used in pharmacy and the production of fine chemicals. A more advanced method for obtaining (R)-(−)-mandelic direct hydrolysis corresponding racemic mandelonitrile. In order to develop a cost-effective process, highly efficient enantioselective nitrilase BCJ2315 from Burkholderia cenocepacia J2315 was biotransformation mandelonitrile acid. The recombinant Escherichia coli M15/BCJ2315 showed high substrate tolerance could...
High-accuracy mass measurements of neutron-deficient Yb isotopes have been performed at TRIUMF using TITAN's multiple-reflection time-of-flight spectrometer (MR-TOF-MS). For the first time, an MR-TOF-MS was used on line simultaneously as isobar separator and a spectrometer, extending to two further away from stability than otherwise possible. The ground state masses $^{150,153}\mathrm{Yb}$ excitation energy $^{151}{\mathrm{Yb}}^{m}$ were measured for time. As result, persistence $N=82$ shell...
The magnetic chitosan nanocomposites have been studied intensively and used practically in various biomedical biological applications including enzyme immobilization. However, the loading capacity remained activity of immobilized based on existing approaches are not satisfied. Simpler more effective immobilization strategies needed. Here we report a simple catechol modified protocol for preparing novel catechol-chitosan (CCS) - iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) composites carrying adhesive...
Quadrupole and octupole stiffnesses in the ground states of even-even $^{112\ensuremath{-}150}\mathrm{Ba}$ isotopes have been systematically investigated by means potential-energy-surface calculations.

Bioreductions catalyzed by alcohol dehydrogenases (ADHs) play an important role in the synthesis of chiral alcohols. However, ethyl (S)-4-chloro-3-hydroxybutyrate [(S)-CHBE], drug intermediate, has significant challenges concerning high substrate or product inhibition toward ADHs, which complicates its production. Herein, we evaluated a novel ADH, SmADH31, obtained from Stenotrophomonas maltophilia genome, can tolerate extremely concentrations (6 M) both and product. The coexpression SmADH31...
