Continuous Spectrophotometric Assay for Defluorinase and Dechlorinase Activities With α-Halocarboxylic Acids. [PDF]
Microb BiotechnolMicrobial hydrolytic defluorinases and dechlorinases assayed by coupling the reaction product to NAD‐linked dehydrogenases will facilitate screening for and characterising new and known enzymes. ABSTRACT Many environmental pollutants have a fluorine or chlorine atom on a carbon atom adjacent to a carboxylic acid.

Combination of a UPO-Based Epoxidation With a Subsequent Ring-Opening Reaction for the Synthesis of Amino Alcohols. [PDF]
ChembiochemThe synthesis of aromatic amino alcohols via a combination of an unspecific peroxygenase‐catalysed reaction, oxyfunctionalization, and addition of selected nucleophiles and electrophiles in a highly atom‐efficient manner was investigated. This study presents the design to aim for an atom‐efficient chemo‐enzymatic synthesis route towards aromatic amino ...

Designing Enzymatic Reactivity with an Expanded Palette. [PDF]
ChembiochemInnovation in biocatalysis is rapidly increasingly the diversity of catalytic reactivity that can be mediated by enzymes, addressing a key bottleneck for their widespread adoption in industrial chemical synthesis. A key approach to this is building enzymes with unnatural catalytic components that provide an expanded palette with new possibilities for ...

Hydrolytic dehalogenation of the chlorothalonil isomer o-tetrachlorophthalonitrile by Pseudochrobactrum sp. BSQ-1 [PDF]
International Biodeterioration & Biodegradation, 2016 Abstract Microbial dehalogenation plays key roles in the biodegradation and detoxification of halogenated aromatics. Although the hydrolytic dehalogenation of halogenated aliphatic hydrocarbons and carboxylic acids has been extensively studied, there are few reports on the hydrolytic dehalogenation of halogenated aromatics. In this study, the aerobic

Evolutionary obstacles and not C-F bond strength make PFAS persistent. [PDF]
Microb BiotechnolC–F bonds can be cleaved by microbes. However, evolution must overcome many obstacles to biodegrade PFAS. Abstract The fate of organic matter in the environment, including anthropogenic chemicals, is largely predicated on the enzymatic capabilities of microorganisms.

Chemistry – A European Journal, Volume 29, Issue 66, November 24, 2023., 2023 Two photons are better than one: Intramolecular charge transfer in the intermediate radical cation of the N‐phenylphenothiazines as photocatalysts improves the yields for borylation and phosphonylation of aryl chlorides. Abstract Aryl chlorides as substrates for arylations present a particular challenge for photoredox catalytic activation due to their ...

Hydrolytic dehalogenation of 4-chlorobenzoic acid by an Acinetobacter sp.
The Journal of General and Applied Microbiology, 1997 Acinetobacter sp. strain ST-1, isolated from garden soil, can mineralize 4-chlorobenzoic acid (4-CBA). The bacterium degrades 4-CBA, starting with dehalogenation to yield 4-hydroxybenzoic acid (4-HBA) under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions, suggesting that the dehalogenating enzyme in the strain is not an oxygenase; the enzyme may catalyze halide ...
