Abstract
Brønsted acid catalyzed regioselective ring opening of aziridines by phenols and thiophenols have been reported. Involvement of a series of aziridines with a range of phenols and thiophenols offer the generality of the reported protocol. Completion of the reaction at room temperature within very short time brings the uniqueness of the developed technique. To emphasis on the application of the developed methodology, the products have been used for the further synthesis of a range of useful and novel heterocyclic molecules such as indolines, indoles, benzothiazines, dihydrobenzothiazines, benzo-oxazines and benzochromenes.

Abstract
Direct synthesis of aliphatic amines from alkynes is highly desirable due to its atom economy and high stereoselectivity but still challenging, especially for the long-chain members. Here, a combination of Au-catalyzed alkyne hydration and amine dehydrogenase-catalyzed (AmDH) reductive amination was constructed, enabling sequential conversion of alkynes into chiral amines in aqueous solutions, particularly for the synthesis of long-chain aliphatic amines on a large scale. The production of chiral aliphatic amines with more than 6 carbons reached 36-60 g/L. A suitable biocatalyst [PtAmDH (A113G/T134G/V294A)], obtained by data mining and active site engineering, enabled the transformation of previously inactive long-chain ketones at high concentrations. Computational analysis revealed that the broader substrate scope and tolerance with the high substrate concentrations resulted from the additive effects of mutations introduced to the three gatekeeper residues 113, 134, and 294.

Abstract
Halide methyltransferases (HMTs) provide an effective way to regenerate S-adenosyl methionine (SAM) from S-adenosyl homocysteine and reactive electrophiles, such as methyl iodide (MeI) and methyl toluene sulfonate (MeOTs). As compared with MeI, the cost-effective unnatural substrate MeOTs can be accessed directly from cheap and abundant alcohols, but shows only limited reactivity in SAM production. In this study, we developed a dynamic cross-correlation network analysis (DCCNA) strategy for quickly identifying hot spots influencing the catalytic efficiency of the enzyme, and applied it to the evolution of HMT from Paraburkholderia xenovorans. Finally, the optimal mutant, M4 (V55T/C125S/L127T/L129P), exhibited remarkable improvement, with a specific activity of 4.08 U/mg towards MeOTs, representing an 82-fold increase as compared to the wild-type (WT) enzyme. Notably, M4 also demonstrated a positive impact on the catalytic ability with other methyl donors. The structural mechanism behind the enhanced enzyme activity was uncovered by molecular dynamics simulations. Our work not only contributes a promising biocatalyst for the regeneration of SAM, but also offers a strategy for efficient enzyme engineering.

Abstract
Native amine dehydrogenases offer sustainable access to chiral amines, so the search for scaffolds capable of converting more diverse carbonyl compounds is required to reach the full potential of this alternative to conventional synthetic reductive aminations. Here we report a multidisciplinary strategy combining bioinformatics, chemoinformatics and biocatalysis to extensively screen billions of sequences in silico and to efficiently find native amine dehydrogenases features using computational approaches. In this way, we achieve a comprehensive overview of the initial native amine dehydrogenase family, extending it from 2,011 to 17,959 sequences, and identify native amine dehydrogenases with non-reported substrate spectra, including hindered carbonyls and ethyl ketones, and accepting methylamine and cyclopropylamine as amine donor. We also present preliminary model-based structural information to inform the design of potential (R)-selective amine dehydrogenases, as native amine dehydrogenases are mostly (S)-selective. This integrated strategy paves the way for expanding the resource of other enzyme families and in highlighting enzymes with original features.

Abstract
Herein, we disclose a facile synthetic strategy to access an important class of drug molecules that contain chiral 1,2-amino alcohol functionality utilizing highly effective ruthenium-catalyzed asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of unprotected α-ketoamines. Recently, the COVID-19 pandemic has caused a crisis of shortage of many important drugs, especially norepinephrine and epinephrine, for the treatment of anaphylaxis and hypotension because of the increased demand. Unfortunately, the existing technologies are not fulfilling the worldwide requirement due to the existing lengthy synthetic protocols that require additional protection and deprotection steps. We identified a facile synthetic protocol via a highly enantioselective one-step process for epinephrine and a two-step process for norepinephrine starting from unprotected α-ketoamines 1b and 1a, respectively. This newly developed enantioselective ruthenium-catalyzed asymmetric transfer hydrogenation was extended to the synthesis of many 1,2-amino alcohol-containing drug molecules such as phenylephrine, denopamine, norbudrine, and levisoprenaline, with enantioselectivities of >99% ee and high isolated yields.

Abstract
The origin of highly efficient asymmetric aminohydroxylation of styrene catalyzed by engineered cytochrome c is investigated by the developed Atom-Bond Electronegativity Equalization Method polarizable force field (ABEEM PFF), which is a combined outcome of electronic and steric effects. Model molecules were used to establish the charge parameters of the ABEEM PFF, for which the bond-stretching and angle-bending parameters were obtained by using a combination of modified Seminario and scan methods. The interactions between carbon-radical Fe-porphyrin (FePP) and waters are simulated by molecular dynamics, which shows a clear preference for the pre-R over the pre-S. This preference is attributed to the hydrogen-bond between the mutated 100S and 101P residues as well as van der Waals interactions, enforcing a specific conformation of the carbon-radical FePP complex within the binding pocket. Meanwhile, the hydrogen-bond between water and the nitrogen atom in the active intermediate dictates the stereochemical outcome. Quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM (ABEEM PFF)) and free-energy perturbation calculations elucidate that the 3RTS is characterized by sandwich-like structure among adjacent amino acid residues, which exhibits greater stability than crowed arrangement in 3STS and enables the R enantiomer to form more favorably. Thus, this study provides mechanistic insight into the catalytic reaction of hemoproteins.

Abstract
Chiral amines are pivotal building blocks for the pharmaceutical industry. Asymmetric reductive amination is one of the most efficient and atom economic methodologies for the synthesis of optically active amines. Among the various strategies available, NAD(P)H-dependent amine dehydrogenases (AmDHs) and imine reductases (IREDs) are robust enzymes that are available from various sources and capable of utilizing a broad range of substrates with high activities and stereoselectivities. AmDHs and IREDs operate via similar mechanisms, both involving a carbinolamine intermediate followed by hydride transfer from the co-factor. In addition, both groups catalyze the formation of primary and secondary amines utilizing both organic and inorganic amine donors. In this review, we discuss advances in developing AmDHs and IREDs as biocatalysts and focus on evolutionary history, substrate scope and applications of the enzymes to provide an outlook on emerging industrial biotechnologies of chiral amine production.

Abstract
Herein, we describe a Brønsted-acid-catalyzed enantioselective desymmetrization of 1,3-diols with alkynes through a hydroalkoxylation/hydrolysis process. The reaction leads to the atom-economical synthesis of valuable chiral β-amino alcohols under mild reaction conditions. Further synthetic transformations based on the β-amino alcohol moiety provide divergent approaches toward chiral N-containing heterocycles.

Abstract
The kinetic resolution of racemic 1H,3H-thiazolo[3,4-a]benzimidazoline (TBIM) heterocycles was achieved using E. coli whole cells expressing the MAO-N D11 enzyme. Several cosolvents were screened using TBIM 2a as the substrate. DMF was the best cosolvent, affording the pure enantiomer (+)-2a in 44% yield, 94% ee. The stereochemistry of TBIM was predicted by means of ab initio calculations of optical rotation and circular dichroism spectra. The reaction scope was investigated for 11 substituted (±) TBIM using an optimized protocol. The best yield and % ee were obtained for the nonsubstituted 2a. Among the substituted compounds, the 5-substituted-TBIM showed better % ee than the 4-substituted one. The small electron donor group (Me) led to better % ee than the electron-withdrawing groups (-NO2 and -CO2Et), and the bulky naphthyl group was detrimental for the kinetic resolution. Docking experiments and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were employed to further understand the interactions between MAO-N D11 and the thiazolo-benzimidazoline substrates. For 2a, the MD showed favorable positioning and binding energy for both enantiomers, thus suggesting that this kinetic resolution is influenced not only by the active site but also by the entry tunnel. This work constitutes the first report of the enzymatic kinetic resolution applied to TBIM heterocycles.

Abstract
Despite the widespread applications of α-hydroxyalkyl cyclic amines, direct and diverse access to such a class of unique vicinal amino alcohols still remains, to date, a challenge. Here, through a strategy of electroreductive α-hydroxyalkylation of inactive N-heteroarenes with ketones or electron-rich arylaldehydes, we describe a room temperature approach for the direct construction of α-hydroxyalkyl cyclic amines, which features a broad substrate scope, operational simplicity, high chemoselectivity, and no need for pressurized H2 gas and transition metal catalysts. The zinc ion generated from anode oxidation plays a crucial role in the activation of both reactants by decreasing their reduction potentials. The strategy of electroreduction in combination with substrate activation by Lewis acids in this work is anticipated to develop more useful transformations.

Abstract
Herein, we report a one-pot, chemoenzymatic process for the synthesis of enantioenriched C(1)-allylated tetrahydroisoquinolines. This transformation couples a monoamine oxidase (MAO-N)-catalyzed oxidation with a metal catalyzed allylboration, followed by a biocatalytic deracemization to afford allylic amine derivatives in both high yields and good to high enantiomeric excess. The cascade is operationally simple, with all components added at the start of the reaction and can be used to generate key building blocks for further elaboration.

Abstract
Multi-enzyme biocatalytic cascades are emerging as practical routes for the synthesis of complex bioactive molecules. However, the relative sparsity of water-stable carbon electrophiles limits the synthetic complexity of molecules made from such cascades. Here, we develop a chemoenzymatic platform that leverages styrene oxide isomerase (SOI) to covert readily accessible aryl epoxides into α-aryl aldehydes through a Meinwald rearrangement. These unstable aldehyde intermediates are then intercepted with a C-C bond forming enzyme, ObiH, that catalyzes a transaldolase reaction with l-threonine to yield synthetically challenging β-hydroxy-α-amino acids. Co-expression of both enzymes in E. coli yields a whole cell biocatalyst capable of synthesizing a variety of stereopure non-standard amino acids (nsAA) and can be produced on gram-scale. We used isotopically labelled substrates to probe the mechanism of SOI, which we show catalyzes a concerted isomerization featuring a stereospecific 1,2-hydride shift. The viability of in situ generated α-aryl aldehydes was further established by intercepting them with a recently engineered decarboxylative aldolase to yield γ-hydroxy nsAAs. Together, these data establish a versatile method of producing α-aryl aldehydes in simple, whole cell conditions and show that these intermediates are useful synthons in C‒C bond forming cascades.

Abstract
The chiral N-substituted 1,2-amino alcohol motif is found in many natural and synthetic bioactive compounds. In this study, enzymatic asymmetric reductive amination of α-hydroxymethyl ketones with enantiocomplementary imine reductases (IREDs) enabled the synthesis of chiral N-substituted 1,2-amino alcohols with excellent ee values (91-99 %) in moderate to high yields (41-84 %). Furthermore, a one-pot, two-step enzymatic process involving benzaldehyde lyase-catalyzed hydroxymethylation of aldehydes and subsequent asymmetric reductive amination was developed, offering an environmentally friendly and economical way to produce N-substituted 1,2-amino alcohols from readily available simple aldehydes and amines. This methodology was then applied to rapidly access a key synthetic intermediate of anti-malaria and cytotoxic tetrahydroquinoline alkaloids.

Abstract
Native Amine Dehydrogenases (nat-AmDHs) have recently emerged as a potentially valuable new reservoir of enzymes for the sustainable and selective synthesis of chiral amines, catalyzing the NAD(P)H-dependent ammoniation of carbonyl compounds with high activity and selectivity. MATOUAmDH2, recently identified from the Marine Atlas of Tara Oceans Unigenes (MATOUv1) database of eukaryotic genes, displays exceptional catalytic performance against its best identified substrate, isobutyraldehyde, as well as broader substrate scope than other nat-AmDHs. In the interests of providing a platform for the rational engineering of this and other nat-AmDHs, we have determined the structure of MATOUAmDH2 in complex with NADP + and also with the cofactor and cyclohexylamine. Monomers within the structure are representative of more open and closed conformations of the enzyme and illustrate the profound changes undergone by nat-AmDHs during the catalytic cycle. An alanine screen of active site residues revealed that M215A and L180A are more active than the wild-type enzyme for the amination of cyclohexanone with ammonia and methylamine respectively, the latter suggesting that AmDHs have the potential to be engineered for the improved production of secondary amines.

Abstract
Amino acid dehydrogenases (AADHs) are a group of enzymes that catalyze the reversible reductive amination of keto acids with ammonia to produce chiral amino acids using either nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) or nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP+) as cofactors. Among them, glutamate dehydrogenase, valine dehydrogenase, leucine dehydrogenase, phenylalanine dehydrogenase, and tryptophan dehydrogenase have been classified as a superfamily of amino acid dehydrogenases (s-AADHs) by previous researchers because of their conserved structures and catalytic mechanisms. Owing to their excellent stereoselectivity, high atom economy, and low environmental impact of the reaction pathway, these enzymes have been extensively engineered to break strict substrate specificities for the synthesis of high value-added chiral compounds (chiral amino acids, chiral amines, and chiral amino alcohols). Substrate specificity engineering of s-AADHs mainly focuses on recognition engineering of the substrate side chain R group and substrate backbone carboxyl group. This review summarizes the reported studies on substrate specificity engineering of s-AADHs and reports that this superfamily of enzymes shares substrate specificity engineering hotspots (the inside of the pocket, substrate backbone carboxyl anchor sites, substrate entrance tunnel, and hinge region), which sheds light on the substrate-specific tailoring of these enzymes.

Abstract
Chiral amino alcohols are prevalent synthons in pharmaceuticals and synthetic bioactive compounds. The efficient synthesis of chiral amino alcohols using ammonia as the sole amino donor under mild conditions is highly desired and challenging in organic chemistry and biotechnology. Our previous work explored a panel of engineered amine dehydrogenases (AmDHs) derived from amino acid dehydrogenase (AADH), enabling the one-step synthesis of chiral amino alcohols via the asymmetric reductive amination of α-hydroxy ketones. Although the AmDH-directed asymmetric reduction is in a high stereoselective manner, the activity is yet fully excavated. Herein, an engineered AmDH derived from a leucine dehydrogenase from Sporosarcina psychrophila (SpAmDH) was recruited as the starting enzyme, and the combinatorial active-site saturation test/iterative saturation mutagenesis (CAST/ISM) strategy was applied to improve the activity. After three rounds of mutagenesis in an iterative fashion, the best variant wh84 was obtained and proved to be effective in the asymmetric reductive amination of 1-hydroxy-2-butanone with 4-fold improvements in kcat/Km and total turnover number (TTN) values compared to those of the starting enzyme, while maintaining high enantioselectivity (ee >99%) and thermostability (T5015 >53°C). In preparative-scale reaction, the conversion of 100 and 200 mM 1-hydroxy-2-butanone catalyzed by wh84 was up to 91–99%. Insights into the source of an enhanced activity were gained by the computational analysis. Our work expands the catalytic repertoire and toolbox of AmDHs.

Abstract
Organic chemistry provides society with fundamental products we use daily. Concerns about the impact that the chemical industry has over the environment is propelling major changes in the way we manufacture chemicals. Biocatalysis offers an alternative to other synthetic approaches as it employs enzymes, Nature's catalysts, to carry out chemical transformations. Enzymes are biodegradable, come from renewable sources, operate under mild reaction conditions, and display high selectivities in the processes they catalyse. As a highly multidisciplinary field, biocatalysis benefits from advances in different areas, and developments in the fields of molecular biology, bioinformatics, and chemical engineering have accelerated the extension of the range of available transformations (E. L. Bell et al., Nat. Rev. Meth. Prim. 2021, 1, 1-21). Recently, we surveyed advances in the expansion of the scope of biocatalysis via enzyme discovery and protein engineering (J. R. Marshall et al., Tetrahedron 2021, 82, 131926). Herein, we focus on novel enzymes currently available to the broad synthetic community for the construction of new C-C, C-N and C-O bonds, with the purpose of providing the non-specialist with new and alternative tools for chiral and sustainable chemical synthesis.

Abstract
Chiral phenylglycinol is a very important chemical in the pharmaceutical manufacturing. Current methods for synthesis of chiral phenylglycinol often suffered from unsatisfied selectivity, low product yield and using the non-renewable resourced substrates, then the synthesis of chiral phenylglycinol remain a grand challenge. Design and construction of synthetic microbial consortia is a promising strategy to convert bio-based materials into high value-added chiral compounds. In this study, we reported a six-step artificial cascade biocatalysis system for conversion of bio-based L-phenylalanine into chiral phenylglycinol. This system was designed using a microbial consortium including two engineered recombinant Escherichia coli cell modules, one recombinant E. coli cell module co-expressed six different enzymes (phenylalanine ammonia lyase/ferulic acid decarboxylase/phenylacrylic acid decarboxylase/styrene monooxygenase/epoxide hydrolase/alcohol dehydrogenase) for efficient conversion of L-phenylalanine into 2-hydroxyacetophenone. The second recombinant E. coli cell module expressed an (R)-ω-transaminase or co-expressed the (S)-ω-transaminase, alanine dehydrogenase and glucose dehydrogenase for conversion of 2-hydroxyacetophenone into (S)- or (R)-phenylglycinol, respectively. Combining the two engineered E. coli cell modules, after the optimization of bioconversion conditions (including pH, temperature, glucose concentration, amine donor concentration and cell ratio), L-phenylalanine could be easily converted into (R)-phenylglycinol and (S)-phenylglycinol with up to 99% conversion and > 99% ee. Preparative scale biotransformation was also conducted on 100-mL scale, (S)-phenylglycinol and (R)-phenylglycinol could be obtained in 71.0% and 80.5% yields, > 99% ee, and 5.19 g/L d and 4.42 g/L d productivity, respectively. The salient features of this biocatalytic cascade system are good yields, excellent ee, mild reaction condition and no need for additional cofactor (NADH/NAD+), provide a practical biocatalytic method for sustainable synthesis of (S)-phenylglycinol and (R)-phenylglycinol from bio-based L-phenylalanine.

Abstract
1-Hydroxy-2-butanone (HB) is a key intermediate for anti-tuberculosis pharmaceutical ethambutol. Commercially available HB is primarily obtained by the oxidation of 1,2-butanediol (1,2-BD) using chemical catalysts. In present study, seven enzymes including diol dehydrogenases, secondary alcohol dehydrogenases and glycerol dehydrogenase were chosen to evaluate their abilities in the conversion of 1,2-BD to HB. The results showed that (2R, 3R)- and (2S, 3S)-butanediol dehydrogenase (BDH) from Serratia sp. T241 could efficiently transform (R)- and (S)-1,2-BD into HB respectively. Furthermore, two biocatalysts co-expressing (2R, 3R)-/(2S, 3S)-BDH, NADH oxidase and hemoglobin protein in Escherichia coli were developed to convert 1,2-BD mixture into HB, and the transformation conditions were optimized. Maximum HB yield of 341.35 and 188.80 mM could be achieved from 440 mM (R)-1,2-BD and 360 mM (S)-1,2-BD by E. coli (pET-rrbdh-nox-vgb) and E. coli (pET-ssbdh-nox-vgb) under the optimized conditions. In addition, two biocatalysts showed the ability in chiral resolution of 1,2-BD isomers, and 135.68 mM (S)-1,2-BD and 112.43 mM (R)-1,2-BD with the purity of 100% could be obtained from 300 and 200 mM 1,2-BD mixture by E. coli (pET-rrbdh-nox-vgb) and E. coli (pET-ssbdh-nox-vgb), respectively. These results provided potential application for HB production from 1,2-BD mixture and chiral resolution of (R)-1,2-BD and (S)-1,2-BD.

Abstract
Enzymes, at the turn of the 21st century, are gaining a momentum. Especially in the field of synthetic organic chemistry, a broad variety of biocatalysts are being applied in an increasing number of processes running at up to industrial scale. In addition to the advantages of employing enzymes under environmentally friendly reaction conditions, synthetic chemists are recognizing the value of enzymes connected to the exquisite selectivity of these natural (or engineered) catalysts. The use of hydrolases in enantioselective protocols paved the way to the application of enzymes in asymmetric synthesis, in particular in the context of biocatalytic (dynamic) kinetic resolutions. After two decades of impressive development, the field is now mature to propose a panel of catalytically diverse enzymes for (i) stereoselective reactions with prochiral compounds, such as double bond reduction and bond forming reactions, (ii) formal enantioselective replacement of one of two enantiotopic groups of prochiral substrates, as well as (iii) atroposelective reactions with noncentrally chiral compounds. In this review, the major enzymatic strategies broadly applicable in the asymmetric synthesis of optically pure chiral compounds are presented, with a focus on the reactions developed within the past decade.

Abstract
Reductions play a key role in organic synthesis, producing chiral products with new functionalities. Enzymes can catalyse such reactions with exquisite stereo-, regio- and chemoselectivity, leading the way to alternative shorter classical synthetic routes towards not only high-added-value compounds but also bulk chemicals. In this review we describe the synthetic state-of-the-art and potential of enzymes that catalyse reductions, ranging from carbonyl, enone and aromatic reductions to reductive aminations.

Simultaneous directed evolution of coupled enzymes for efficient asymmetric synthesis of l-phosphinothricin. Appl Environ Microbiol 2021; 87:AEM.02563-20.

Abstract
The traditional strategy to improve the efficiency of an entire coupled enzyme system relies on separate direction of the evolution of enzymes involved in their respective enzymatic reactions. This strategy can lead to enhanced single-enzyme catalytic efficiency but may also lead to loss of coordination among enzymes. This study aimed to overcome such shortcomings by executing a directed evolution strategy on multiple enzymes in one combined group that catalyzes the asymmetric biosynthesis of l-phosphinothricin. The genes of a glutamate dehydrogenase from Pseudomonas moorei (PmGluDH) and a glucose dehydrogenase from Exiguobacterium sibiricum (EsGDH), along with other gene parts (promoters, ribosomal binding sites (RBSs), and terminators) were simultaneously evolved. The catalytic efficiency of PmGluDH was boosted by introducing the beneficial mutation A164G (from 1.29 s-1mM-1 to 183.52 s-1mM-1), and the EsGDH expression level was improved by optimizing the linker length between the RBS and the start codon of gdh. The total turnover numbers of the bioreaction increased from 115 (GluDH WTNADPH) to 5846 (A164GNADPH coupled with low expression of EsGDH), and to 33950 (A164GNADPH coupled with high expression of EsGDH). The coupling efficiency was increased from ∼30% (GluDH_WT with low expression of GDH) to 83.3% (GluDH_A164G with high expression of GDH). In the batch production of l-phosphinothricin utilizing whole-cell catalysis, the strongest biocatalytic reaction exhibited a high space-time yield (6410 g·L-1·d-1) with strict stereoselectivity (>99% enantiomeric excess).Importance: The traditional strategy to improve multienzyme-catalyzed reaction efficiency may lead to enhanced single-enzyme catalytic efficiency but may also result in loss of coordination among enzymes. We describe a directed evolution strategy of an entire coupled enzyme system to simultaneously enhance enzyme coordination and catalytic efficiency. The simultaneous evolution strategy was applied to a multienzyme-catalyzed reaction for the asymmetric synthesis of l-phosphinothricin, which not only enhanced the catalytic efficiency of GluDH but also improved the coordination between GluDH and GDH. Since this strategy is enzyme-independent, it may be applicable to other coupled enzyme systems for chiral chemical synthesis.

Optically active β-amino alcohols are very useful chiral intermediates frequently used in the preparation of pharmaceutically active substances. Here, a novel cyclohexylamine oxidase (ArCHAO) was identified from the genome sequence of Arthrobacter sp. TYUT010-15 with the R-stereoselective deamination activity of β-amino alcohol. ArCHAO was cloned and successfully expressed in E. coli BL21, purified and characterized. Substrate-specific analysis revealed that ArCHAO has high activity (4.15 to 6.34 U mg-1 protein) and excellent enantioselectivity toward the tested β-amino alcohols. By using purified ArCHAO, a wide range of racemic β-amino alcohols were resolved, (S)-β-amino alcohols were obtained in >99 % ee. Deracemization of racemic β-amino alcohols was conducted by ArCHAO-catalyzed enantioselective deamination and transaminase-catalyzed enantioselective amination to afford (S)-β-amino alcohols in excellent conversion (78-94 %) and enantiomeric excess (>99 %). Preparative-scale deracemization was carried out with 50 mM (6.859 g L-1 ) racemic 2-amino-2-phenylethanol, (S)-2-amino-2-phenylethanol was obtained in 75 % isolated yield and >99 % ee.

Abstract
Glucose dehydrogenase (GDH) is a general tool for driving nicotinamide (NAD(P)H) regeneration in synthetic biochemistry. An increasing number of synthetic bioreactions are carried out in media containing high amounts of organic cosolvents or hydrophobic substrates/products, which often denature native enzymes, including those for cofactor regeneration. In this work, we attempted to improve the chemical stability of Bacillus megaterium GDH (BmGDHM0 ) in the presence of large amounts of 1-phenylethanol by directed evolution. Among the resulting mutants, BmGDHM6 (Q252L/E170K/S100P/K166R/V72I/K137R) exhibited a 9.2-fold increase in tolerance against 10 % (v/v) 1-phenylethanol. Moreover, BmGDHM6 was also more stable than BmGDHM0 when exposed to hydrophobic and enzyme-inactivating compounds such as acetophenone, ethyl 2-oxo-4-phenylbutyrate, and ethyl (R)-2-hydroxy-4-phenylbutyrate. Coupled with a Candida glabrata carbonyl reductase, BmGDHM6 was successfully used for the asymmetric reduction of deactivating ethyl 2-oxo-4-phenylbutyrate with total turnover number of 1800 for the nicotinamide cofactor, thus making it attractive for commercial application. Overall, the evolution of chemically robust GDH facilitates its wider use as a general tool for NAD(P)H regeneration in biocatalysis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To screening of bacteria with cyclic amino alcohol deamination activity for enantioselective synthesis of chiral cyclic β-amino alcohols. RESULTS A new strain named Arthrobacter sp. TYUT010-15 with the (R)-selective deamination activity of cyclic β-amino alcohol has been isolated from nature via a high throughput solid-phase screening method. The reaction conditions of TYUT010-15 were optimized. Using the resting cell of TYUT010-15 as the catalyst, kinetic resolution of trans-2-aminocyclopentanol, trans-2-aminocyclohexanol and cis-1-amino-2-indanol was carried out to afford (1S, 2S)-trans-2-aminocyclopentanol, (1S, 2S)-trans-2-aminocyclohexanol and (1R, 2S)-cis-1-amino-2-indanol in > 99% ee and 49.6-50% conversion. Four aromatic β-amino alcohols and two amines were also resolved, (S)-β-amino alcohols and (R)-amines were obtained in > 99% ee. Preparation experiment was conducted with 200 mM (23.2 g L-1) racemic trans-2-aminocyclohexanol, yielding the desired (1S, 2S)-trans-2-aminocyclohexanol in 40% isolated yield, > 99% ee and 5.8 g L-1 d-1 space time yields. CONCLUSIONS This study provides a high throughput solid-phase method for screening of bacteria with cyclic amino alcohol deamination activity and a first example for practical preparation of chiral cyclic β-amino alcohol by Arthrobacter sp. TYUT010-15.
