Engineering a newly identified alcohol dehydrogenase from Sphingobium Sp. for efficient utilization of nicotinamide cofactors biomimetics

Bioresources and Bioprocessing
Nicotinamide cofactor biomimetics (NCBs) serve as low-cost alternatives to the expensive NAD(P)+/NAD(P)H, holding significant potential for applications in oxidoreductases. In this study, an alcohol dehydrogenase (SpADH2) from Sphingobium sp.

A hepatoprotective experiment on taro vegetable (Colocasia esculenta (L.) Schott) flower employing animal models by mitigating oxidative stress

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
The antioxidant efficacy of Colocasia esculenta flower’s methanolic extract was assessed using 2,2′‐azino‐bis‐(3‐ethylbenzothiazoline‐6‐sulfonic) (ABTS) and 2,2‐diphenyl‐1‐picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) scavenging assay. The hepatoprotective effect was investigated by assessing liver injury indicators (amino transferase [ALT], aspartate amino transferase [AST],

Two tyrosine residues, Tyr-108 and Tyr-503, are responsible for the deprotonation of phenolic substrates in vanillyl-alcohol oxidase

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2017
A number of oxidoreductases from the VAO/para-cresol methylhydroxylase flavoprotein family catalyze the oxidation of para-substituted phenols. One of the best-studied is vanillyl-alcohol oxidase (VAO) from the fungus Penicillium simplicissimum.

Emergence of Staphylococcus aureus Resistance to Antimicrobial Peptides Nisin, NZ2114 and Bacitracin Involves Multiple Phenotypic Changes

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
The AMP‐induced mutant Staphylococcus aureus strain nzR showed increased resistance, five gene mutations, and decreased surface anion levels. AMPs affect the NDH‐2 protein encoded by ndh gene inhibiting the growth of S. aureus. The deletion of the ndh gene promotes the development of AMPs resistance.

Fabrication of Polypyrrole–Polystyrene Sulfonate by Amperometric Biosensor‐Based Electropolymerization for Cholesterol Determination in Serum

Biotechnology and Applied Biochemistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Since cholesterol triggers many diseases, many methods have been developed for its determination. In this study, an alternative system for cholesterol determination was developed by preparing amperometric biosensors. In the development of the biosensor, Pt/polypyrrole–polystyrene sulfonate film was prepared by electropolymerization of ...

Sustainable biofuel production from fish processing waste: lipase‐catalyzed hydroesterification of tilapia residual oil

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract Fishing waste and byproducts, whether naturally occurring or from industrial processing, are important sources of high‐value compounds. Fertilizers, biomaterials, cosmetics, biolubricants, and biodiesel are some of the substances that can be obtained from these residues. The objective of this study was to conduct a theoretical and experimental

Rational Design of Hydrophilic Deep Eutectic Solvents to Outperform Oxidoreductase Activity in Aqueous Media

ChemCatChem, EarlyView.
This study investigates the catalytic performance of alcohol dehydrogenases (ADHs) — including thermostability, specific activity, and kinetics — in mixtures of glycerol‐based deep eutectic solvents (DESs) and aqueous buffers. By elucidating enzyme—DES interactions, the work identifies the outperforming hydrophilic DESs that enhance redox biocatalysis,

Redox Biocatalysis in Lidocaine‐Based Hydrophobic Deep Eutectic Solvents: Non‐Conventional Media Outperform Aqueous Conditions

ChemSusChem, Volume 18, Issue 6, March 15, 2025.
Two hydrophobic DESs, lidocaine/oleic acid and lidocaine/decanoic acid, were utilized as reaction media that were enzyme‐compatible and highly substrate‐solubilizer for carbonyl reduction catalyzed by horse liver alcohol dehydrogenase, focusing on the effect of water contents and on maximizing substrate loadings, which showcases for the first time the ...
