  2. 1. Transaminase Biocatalysis: Applications and Fundamental Studies

    Author : Federica Ruggieri; Per Berglund; Mariarita Bertoldi; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; biocatalysis; enzymatic cascade; transaminase; amine; racemization; PLP; enzyme engineering; Chromobacterium violaceum; protein stability; enzyme stability; molecular dynamics; structural biology; enzyme technology; chiral amines; kinetic resolution; Bioteknologi; Biotechnology;

    Abstract : Biocatalysis is the branch of science at the intersection between chemistry and biology and specifcally dedicated to the application of natural evolvable catalysts, i.e. enzymes, in human-designed chemical processes. Among the array of promising biocatalysts, transaminases (EC 2. READ MORE

  4. 2. Lipase and ω-Transaminase : Biocatalytic Investigations

    Author : Maria Svedendahl; Per Berglund; Stefan Stefan Lutz; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Candida antarctica lipase B; enzyme catalysis; enzyme catalytic promiscuity; molecular modeling; ω-transaminase; Biochemistry; Biokemi;

    Abstract : In a lipase investigation, Candida antarctica lipase B (CALB) are explored for enzyme catalytic promiscuity. Enzyme catalytic promiscuity is shown by enzymes catalyzing alternative catalytic transformations proceeding via different transition state structures than normal. READ MORE

  5. 3. ω-Transaminase in Biocatalysis : Methods, Reactions and Engineering

    Author : Karim Engelmark Cassimjee; Per Berglund; Wofgang Kroutil; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Biocatalysis offers an alternative to classic chemistry by using enzymes, the protein catalysts of Nature, for production of fine chemicals. Evolution has created enzymes capable of catalysis at moderate temperature of a specific reaction in the presence of a plethora of compounds in the aqueous cell environment. READ MORE

  6. 4. Amine Transaminases in Multi-Step One-Pot Reactions

    Author : Mattias Anderson; Per Berglund; Frank Hollmann; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Biocatalysis; enzyme; amine transaminase; ω-transaminase; amination; primary amine; chiral amine; chemoenzymatic; green chemistry; synthesis; cascade; Bioteknologi; Biotechnology;

    Abstract : Amine transaminases are enzymes that catalyze the mild and selective formation of primary amines, which are useful building blocks for biologically active compounds and natural products. In order to make the production of these kinds of compounds more efficient from both a practical and an environmental point of view, amine transaminases were incorporated into multi-step one-pot reactions.

  7. 5. Quantum Chemical Studies of Enzymatic Reaction Mechanisms : Investigations of Cytosine Deaminase and ω-Transaminase

    Author : Bianca Manta; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : In this thesis, density functional theory is used to study the reaction mechanisms of two dierent enzymes. Quantum chemical cluster models of the active sites were designed using available crystal structures. READ MORE
