Selective Oxidation of α,β‐Unsaturated Alcohols With Lyophilisates of Bjerkandera adusta
ABSTRACT The biocatalytic aerobic production of (E)‐2‐allylic aldehydes from their corresponding alcohols using lyophilisates of the basidiomycetous fungus Bjerkandera adusta is reported. The addition of small amounts of organic solvents to the reaction media increased the reaction and substrate conversion rates, allowing for to produce (E)‐aldehydes ...

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,

A standalone enzyme, derived from the reductase domain of a polyketide synthase‐nonribosomal peptide synthetase hybrid enzyme, is identified as a pyrroline carboxylate reductase. This enzyme is involved in the biosynthesis of 3‐methylproline, an amino acid building block of a unique tricyclic pyrrolizidinone structure of a fungal metabolite ...

Red blood cell endothelial nitric oxide synthase: A major player in regulating cardiovascular health
Abstract Red blood cells (RBCs) have traditionally been seen as simple carriers of gases and nutrients in the body. One important non‐canonical function of RBCs in the cardiovascular system is the regulation of nitric oxide (NO) metabolism. It has been shown that RBCs can scavenge NO, transport NO metabolites and produce NO in hypoxic conditions ...

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 ...

NRF2 signalling in cytoprotection and metabolism
The KEAP1‐NRF2 system plays a central role in cytoprotection in defence mechanisms against oxidative stress. The KEAP1‐NRF2 system has been regarded as a sulfur‐utilizing cytoprotective mechanism, because KEAP1 serves as a biosensor for electrophiles by using its reactive thiols and NRF2 is a transcriptional factor regulating genes involved in sulfur ...

Mycofactocin and the mycobacterial electron transport chain
In the bacterium M. smegmatis, an enzyme called MftG allows the cofactor mycofactocin to transfer electrons released during ethanol metabolism to the electron transport chain.
