Abstract
Improving the range of substrates accepted by enzymes with high catalytic activity remains an important goal for the industrialisation of biocatalysis. Many enzymes catalyse two-substrate reactions which increases the complexity in engineering them for the synthesis of alternative products. Often mutations are found independently that can improve the acceptance of alternatives to each of the two substrates. Ideally, we would be able to combine mutations identified for each of the two alternative substrates, and so reprogramme new enzyme variants that synthesise specific products from their respective two-substrate combinations. However, as we have previously observed for E. coli transketolase, the mutations that improved activity towards aromatic acceptor aldehydes, did not successfully recombine with mutations that switched the donor substrate to pyruvate. This likely results from several active site residues having multiple roles that can affect both of the substrates, as well as structural interactions between the mutations themselves. Here, we have designed small libraries, including both natural and non-natural amino acids, based on the previous mutational sites that impact on acceptance of the two substrates, to achieve up to 630× increases in kcat for the reaction with 3-formylbenzoic acid (3-FBA) and pyruvate. Computational docking was able to determine how the mutations shaped the active site to improve the proximity of the 3-FBA substrate relative to the enamine-TPP intermediate, formed after the initial reaction with pyruvate. This work opens the way for small libraries to rapidly reprogramme enzyme active sites in a plug and play approach to catalyse new combinations of two-substrate reactions.

Abstract
Biocatalytic processes are highly selective and specific. However, their utility is limited by the comparatively narrow scope of enzyme-catalysed transformations. To expand product scope, we are developing biocompatible processes that combine biocatalytic reactions with chemo-catalysis in single-flask processes. Here, we show that a chemocatalysed Pictet-Spengler annulation can be interfaced with biocatalysed alcohol oxidation. This two-step, one-pot cascade reaction converts tyramine and aliphatic alcohols to tetrahydroisoquinoline alkaloids in aqueous buffer at mild pH. Tryptamine derivatives are also efficiently converted to tryptolines. Optimization of stoichiometry, pH, reaction time, and whole-cell catalyst deliver the tetrahydroisouinolines and tryptolines in >90 % and >40 % isolated yield, respectively, with excellent regioselectivity.

Abstract
The strategy of rational design to engineer enzymes is to predict the potential mutants based on the understanding of the relationships between protein structure and function, and subsequently introduce the mutations using the site-directed mutagenesis. Rational design methods are universal, relatively fast and have the potential to be developed into algorithms that can quantitatively predict the performance of the designed sequences. Compared to the protein stability, it was more challenging to design an enzyme with improved activity or selectivity, due to the complexity of enzyme molecular structure and inadequate understanding of the relationships between enzyme structures and functions. However, with the development of computational force, advanced algorithm and a deeper understanding of enzyme catalytic mechanisms, rational design could significantly simplify the process of engineering enzyme functions and the number of studies applying rational design strategy has been increasing. Here, we reviewed the recent advances of applying the rational design strategy to engineer enzyme functions including activity and enantioselectivity. Five strategies including multiple sequence alignment, strategy based on steric hindrance, strategy based on remodeling interaction network, strategy based on dynamics modification and computational protein design are discussed and the successful cases using these strategies are introduced.

Abstract
The combination of metal-, photo-, enzyme-, and/or organocatalysis provides multiple synthetic solutions, especially when the creation of chiral centers is involved. Historically, enzymes and transition metal species have been exploited simultaneously through dynamic kinetic resolutions of racemates. However, more recently, linear cascades have appeared as elegant solutions for the preparation of valuable organic molecules combining multiple bioprocesses and metal-catalyzed transformations. Many advantages are derived from this symbiosis, although there are still bottlenecks to be addressed including the successful coexistence of both catalyst types, the need for compatible reaction media and mild conditions, or the minimization of cross-reactivities. Therefore, solutions are here also provided by means of catalyst coimmobilization, compartmentalization strategies, flow chemistry, etc. A comprehensive review is presented focusing on the period 2015 to early 2022, which has been divided into two main sections that comprise first the use of metals and enzymes as independent catalysts but working in an orchestral or sequential manner, and later their application as bionanohybrid materials through their coimmobilization in adequate supports. Each part has been classified into different subheadings, the first part based on the reaction catalyzed by the metal catalyst, while the development of nonasymmetric or stereoselective processes was considered for the bionanohybrid section.

Origin of the Unexpected Enantioselectivity in the Enzymatic Reductions of 5-Membered-Ring Heterocyclic Ketones Catalyzed by Candida parapsilosis Carbonyl Reductases. Catalysts 2022.

Abstract
Candida parapsilosis carbonyl reductases (CpRCR) have been widely used for the reductive conversion of ketone precursors and chiral alcohol products in pharmaceutical industries. The enzymatic enantioselectivity is believed to be related to the shape complementation between the cavities in the enzymes and the substitutions of the ketone substrates. In this work, we reported an unexpected enantioselectivity in the enzyme reductions of dihydrofuran-3(2H)-one (DHF) to (S)-tetrahydrofuran-3-ol (DHF-ol, enantiomeric excess: 96.4%), while dihydrothiophen-3(2H)-one substrate (DHT) was unproductive under the same experimental conditions. To rationalize the exclusive S-configuration and the specific reactivity of DHF, we carried out molecular dynamics simulations for the reacting complexations of DHF with CpRCR, and DHT with CpRCR. Our calculations indicate that DHF preferentially binds to the small cavity near L119, F285, and W286, while the large cavity near the α1 helix was mainly occupied by solvent water molecules. Moreover, the pre-reaction state analysis suggests that the pro-S conformations were more abundant than the pro-R, in particular for DHF. This suggests that the non-polar interaction of substrate C4-C5 methylene contacting the hydrophobic side-chains of L119-F285-W286, and the polar interaction of funanyl oxygen exposing the solvent environment play important roles in the enantioselectivity and reactivity. The phylogenetic tree of CpRCR homologues implies that a variety of amino acid combinations at positions 285 and 286 were available and thereby potentially useful for redesigning enantioselective reductions of 5-membered-ring heterocyclic ketones.

Abstract
The M379A mutant of Citrobacter freundii tyrosine phenol‐lyase (TPL) has been prepared. M379A TPL is a robust catalyst to prepare a number of tyrosines substituted at the 3‐position with bulky groups that cannot be made with wild type TPL. The three dimensional structures of M379A TPL complexed with L‐methionine and 3‐bromo‐dl‐phenylalanine have been determined by X‐ray crystallography. Methionine is bound as a quinonoid complex in a closed active site in 3 of 4 chains of homotetrameric M379A TPL. M379A TPL reacts with l‐methionine about 8‐fold slower than wild type TPL. The temperature dependence shows that the slower reaction is due to less positive activation entropy. The structure of the M379A TPL complex of 3‐bromo‐DL‐phenylalanine has a quinonoid complex in two subunits, with an open active site conformation. The effects of the M379A mutation on TPL suggest that the mutant enzyme has altered the conformational dynamics of the active site.

Abstract
Yakuchinone A (1) is a bioactive diarylheptanoid isolated from the dried fruits of Alpinia oxyphylla. Microbial transformation has been recognized as an efficient method to produce new biologically active derivatives from natural products. In the present study, microbial transformation of yakuchinone A was performed with the fungus Mucor hiemalis KCTC 26779, which led to the isolation of nine new metabolites (2, 3a, 3b, and 4–9). Their structures were elucidated as (3S)-oxyphyllacinol (2), (3S,7R)- and (3S,7S)-7-hydroxyoxyphyllacinol (3a and 3b), (3S)-oxyphyllacinol-4′-O-β-d-glucopyranoside (4), (3S)-4″-hydroxyoxyphyllacinol (5), (3S)-3″-hydroxyoxyphyllacinol (6), (3S)-2″-hydroxyoxyphyllacinol (7), (3S)-2″-hydroxyoxyphyllacinol-2″-O-β-d-glucopyranoside (8), and (3S)-oxyphyllacinol-3-O-β-d-glucopyranoside (9) based on the comprehensive spectroscopic analyses and the application of modified Mosher’s method. All compounds were evaluated for their cytotoxic activities against melanoma, as well as breast, lung, and colorectal cancer cell lines. Compound 9, which was O-glucosylated on the diarylheptanoid alkyl chain, exhibited the most selective cytotoxic activities against melanoma cell lines with the IC50 values ranging from 6.09 to 9.74 μM, indicating that it might be considered as a possible anti-cancer lead compound.

Abstract
Racemic camphor and isoborneol are readily available as industrial side products, whereas (1R)-camphor is available from natural sources. Optically pure (1S)-camphor, however, is much more difficult to obtain. The synthesis of racemic camphor from α-pinene proceeds via an intermediary racemic isobornyl ester, which is then hydrolyzed and oxidized to give camphor. We reasoned that enantioselective hydrolysis of isobornyl esters would give facile access to optically pure isoborneol and camphor isomers, respectively. While screening of a set of commercial lipases and esterases in the kinetic resolution of racemic monoterpenols did not lead to the identification of any enantioselective enzymes, the cephalosporin Esterase B from Burkholderia gladioli (EstB) and Esterase C (EstC) from Rhodococcus rhodochrous showed outstanding enantioselectivity (E>100) towards the butyryl esters of isoborneol, borneol and fenchol. The enantioselectivity was higher with increasing chain length of the acyl moiety of the substrate. The kinetic resolution of isobornyl butyrate can be easily integrated into the production of camphor from α-pinene and thus allows the facile synthesis of optically pure monoterpenols from a renewable side-product.

Abstract
Apremilast is an important active pharmaceutical ingredient that relies on a resolution to produce the key chiral amine intermediate. To provide a new catalytic and enzymatic process for Apremilast, we performed the directed evolution of the amine transaminase fromVibriofluvialis. Six rounds of evolution resulted in the VF-8M-E variant with > 400-fold increase specific activity over the wildtype enzyme. A homology model of VF-8M-E was built and a molecular docking study was performed to explain the increase in activity. The purified VF-8M-E was successfully applied to produce the key chiral amine intermediate in enantiopure form and 49% conversion via a kinetic resolution, representing a new enzymatic access towards Apremilast.

Abstract
Enzymes offering chemo-, regio-, and stereoselectivity enable the asymmetric synthesis of high-value chiral molecules. Unfortunately, the drawback that naturally occurring enzymes are often inefficient or have undesired selectivity toward non-native substrates hinders the broadening of biocatalytic applications. To match the demands of specific selectivity in asymmetric synthesis, biochemists have implemented various computer-aided strategies in understanding and engineering enzymatic selectivity, diversifying the available repository of artificial enzymes. Here, given that the entire asymmetric catalytic cycle, involving precise interactions within the active pocket and substrate transport in the enzyme channel, could affect the enzymatic efficiency and selectivity, we presented a comprehensive overview of the computer-aided workflow for enzymatic selectivity. This review includes a mechanistic understanding of enzymatic selectivity based on quantum mechanical calculations, rational design of enzymatic selectivity guided by enzyme-substrate interactions, and enzymatic selectivity regulation via enzyme channel engineering. Finally, we discussed the computational paradigm for designing enzyme selectivity in silico to facilitate the advancement of asymmetric biosynthesis.

Abstract
With the rapid development of genomic DNA sequencing, recombinant DNA expression, and protein engineering, biocatalysis has been increasingly and widely adopted in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, bioactive molecules, fine chemicals, and agrochemicals. In this review, we have summarized the most recent advances achieved (2018-2020) in the research area of ketoreductase (KRED)-catalyzed asymmetric synthesis of chiral secondary alcohol intermediates to pharmaceuticals and bioactive molecules. In the first part, synthesis of chiral alcohols with one stereocenter through the bioreduction of four different ketone classes, namely acyclic aliphatic ketones, benzyl or phenylethyl ketones, cyclic aliphatic ketones, and aryl ketones, is discussed. In the second part, KRED-catalyzed dynamic reductive kinetic resolution and reductive desymmetrization are presented for the synthesis of chiral alcohols with two contiguous stereocenters.

Abstract
Biocatalysis, using defined enzymes for organic transformations, has become a common tool in organic synthesis, which is also frequently applied in industry. The generally high activity and outstanding stereo-, regio-, and chemoselectivity observed in many biotransformations are the result of a precise control of the reaction in the active site of the biocatalyst. This control is achieved by exact positioning of the reagents relative to each other in a fine-tuned 3D environment, by specific activating interactions between reagents and the protein, and by subtle movements of the catalyst. Enzyme engineering enables one to adapt the catalyst to the desired reaction and process. A well-filled biocatalytic toolbox is ready to be used for various reactions. Providing nonnatural reagents and conditions and evolving biocatalysts enables one to play with the myriad of options for creating novel transformations and thereby opening new, short pathways to desired target molecules. Combining several biocatalysts in one pot to perform several reactions concurrently increases the efficiency of biocatalysis even further.

Abstract
A concise chemoenzymatic route toward enantiomerically enriched active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) - diprophylline and xanthinol nicotinate - is reported for the first time. The decisive step is an enantioselective lipase-mediated methanolysis of racemic chlorohydrin-synthon acetate, namely 1-chloro-3-(1,3-dimethyl-2,6-dioxo-1,2,3,6-tetrahydro-7H-purin-7-yl)propan-2-yl acetate, performed under kinetically-controlled conditions on a preparative 500 mg-scale. The best results in terms of reaction enantioselectivity (E = 14) were obtained for the enantiomers resolution performed with lipase type B from Candida antarctica immobilized on acrylic resin (CAL-B, Novozym 435) suspended in homophasic acetonitrile-methanol mixture. The elaborated biocatalytic system furnished the key chlorohydrin intermediate (in 71% ee and 38% yield), which was then smoothly converted into enantioenriched active agents: (R)-(-)-diprophylline (57% ee) and (S)-(+)-xanthinol nicotinate (65% ee). To support the assignment of absolute configurations of EKR-products as well as to confirm the stereochemical outcome of the remaining reaction steps, docking studies toward the prediction of enantiomers binding selectivity in CAL-B active site as well as the respective chemical correlations with enantiomerically enriched analytical standards obtained from commercially available (R)-(-)-epichlorohydrin, were applied. In addition, single-crystal X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses were performed for the synthesized optically active APIs furnishing by this manner a first crystal structures of nicotinic acid salt of xanthinol.

Abstract
In the area of human-made innovations to improve the quality of life, biocatalysis has already had a great impact and contributed enormously to a growing number of catalytic transformations aimed at the detection and analysis of compounds, the bioconversion of starting materials and the preparation of target compounds at any scale, from laboratory small scale to industrial large scale. The key enabling tools which have been developed in biocatalysis over the last decades also provide great opportunities for further development and numerous applications in various sectors of the global bioeconomy. Systems biocatalysis is a modular, bottom-up approach to designing the architecture of enzyme-catalyzed reaction steps in a synthetic route from starting materials to target molecules. The integration of biocatalysis and sustainable chemistry in vitro aims at ideal conversions with high molecular economy and their intensification. Retrosynthetic analysis in the chemical and biological domain has been a valuable tool for target-oriented synthesis while, on the other hand, diversity-oriented synthesis builds on forward-looking analysis. Bioinformatic tools for rapid identification of the required enzyme functions, efficient enzyme production systems, as well as generalized bioprocess design tools, are important for rapid prototyping of the biocatalytic reactions. The tools for enzyme engineering and the reaction engineering of each enzyme-catalyzed one-step reaction are also valuable for coupling reactions. The tools to overcome interaction issues with other components or enzymes are of great interest in designing multi-step reactions as well as in biocatalytic total synthesis.

Abstract
We report on the development of high-throughput fluorogenic assay that can streamline directed evolution of enantioselective sulfoxide reductases. As a model, methionine sulfoxide reductase A (MsrA) has been evolved to expand its limited substrate scope. The resulting mutant MsrA can resolve a range of new challenging racemic sulfoxides with high efficiency including the pharmaceutically relevant albendazole sulfoxide. The simplicity and the level of throughput make this method also suitable for the screening of metagenomic libraries in future for the discovery of new enzymes with similar reactivities.

Abstract
α-Transaminase (α-TA) responsible for catalyzing the reversible transfer of amino groups between amine donors and amine acceptors, is applicable to enzymatic route for asymmetric synthesis of herbicide l-phosphinothricin (l-PPT). In the search for α-TAs with better catalysis performance, three α-TAs were discovered by genome mining approach using a known sequence encoding Escherichia coli tyrosine TA (TyrB) as probe. Through detailed comparison of their expression amount, activities and characteristics, Citrobacter koseri TA (CkTA) exhibited better activity and thermostability, which retain 65.9% of initial activity after incubation at 57 °C for 4 h. The Km and kcat/Km values of CkTA were 36.75 mM and 34.29 mM-1 min-1, respectively. In addition, recombinant CkTA cells were immobilized onto Celite 545 using tris(hydroxymethyl)phosphine as crosslinker. During five repetitive asymmetric synthesis of l-PPT from 20 g/L prostereogenic ketone using l-Glu as amine donor, all the yields of l-PPT reached up to 91.2% (>99% ee). These characteristics made CkTA a valuable addition to the currently scarce α-TA library for stereospecific synthesis of l-PPT.

Abstract
The stereoselective synthesis of chiral amines is an appealing task nowadays. In this context, biocatalysis plays a crucial role due to the straightforward conversion of prochiral and racemic ketones into enantiopure amines by means of a series of enzyme classes such as amine dehydrogenases, imine reductases, reductive aminases and amine transaminases. In particular, the stereoselective synthesis of 1,5-benzoxathiepin-3-amines have attracted particular attention since they possess remarkable biological profiles; however, their access through biocatalytic methods is unexplored. Amine transaminases are applied herein in the biotransamination of 3,4-dihydro-2H-1,5-benzoxathiepin-3-one, finding suitable enzymes for accessing both target amine enantiomers in high conversion and enantiomeric excess values. Biotransamination experiments have been analysed, trying to optimise the reaction conditions in terms of enzyme loading, temperature and reaction times.

Biocatalytic Approach to Chiral β-Nitroalcohols by Enantioselective Alcohol Dehydrogenase-Mediated Reduction of α-Nitroketones. Catalysts 2018.

Abstract
Chiral β-nitroalcohols are important building blocks in organic chemistry. The synthetic approach that is based on the enzyme-mediated reduction of α-nitroketones has been scarcely considered. In this work, the use of commercial alcohol dehydrogenases (ADHs) for the reduction of aromatic and aliphatic nitroketones is investigated. High conversions and enantioselectivities can be achieved with two specific ADHs, affording either the (S) or (R)-enantiomer of the corresponding nitroalcohols. The reaction conditions are carefully tuned to preserve the stability of the reduced product, and to avoid the hydrolytic degradation of the starting substrate. The further manipulation of the enantioenriched nitroalcohols into Boc-protected amminoalcohols is also described.

Abstract
Several chemoenzymatic routes have been explored for the preparation of cinacalcet, a calcimimetic agent. Transaminases (TAs) and ketoreductases (KREDs) turned out to be useful biocatalysts for the preparation of key optically active precursors. Thus, the asymmetric amination of 1-acetonaphthone yielded an enantiopure (R)-amine, which can be alkylated in one step to yield cinacalcet. Alternatively, the bioreduction of the same ketone resulted in an enantiopure (S)-alcohol, which was easily converted into the previous (R)-amine. In addition, the reduction was efficiently performed with the KRED and its cofactor co-immobilized on the same porous surface. This self-sufficient heterogeneous biocatalyst presented an accumulated total turnover number (TTN) for the cofactor of 675 after 5 consecutive operational cycles. Finally, in a preparative scale synthesis the TA-based approach was performed in aqueous medium and led to enantiopure cinacalcet in two steps and 50% overall yield.

Abstract
Whole-cell biocatalysts offer a highly enantioselective, minimally polluting route to optically active alcohols. Currently, most of the whole-cell catalytic performance involves resting cells rather than growing cell biotransformation, which is one-step process that benefits from the simultaneous growth and biotransformation, eliminating the need for catalysts preparation. In this paper, asymmetric reduction of 14 aromatic ketones to the corresponding enantiomerically pure alcohols was successfully conducted using the growing and resting cells of marine-derived fungi under optimized conditions. Good yields and excellent enantioselectivities were achieved with both methods. Although substrate inhibition might be a limiting factor for growing cell biotransformation, the selected strain can still completely convert 10-mM substrates into the desired products. The resting cell biotransformation showed a capacity to be recycled nine times without a significant decrease in the activity. This is the first study to perform asymmetric reduction of ketones by one-step growing cell biotransformation.
