2: Enzyme Technology: History and Current Trends
Figure 2.1 Process for dextrin production, with reaction vessel for starch hydrolysis (a), filtration unit (b), reservoir for intermediate storage (c), concentration unit where water is evaporated to give a concentrated syrup of dextrin solution (d) [11].
Figure 2.2 Acetic acid fermentation using immobilized bacteria. The vessel was equipped with sieve plates in positions D and B. Space A was filled with beech wood chips (on which the bacteria were immobilized). A 6–10% alcohol solution was added from the top to a solution containing 20% acetic acid and beer (containing nutrients). Air for oxidation was introduced through holes in a position above B, and the temperature was maintained at 20–25 °C. The product containing 4–10% acetic acid was continuously removed via position E [15].
Scheme 2.1 Enzymatic and chemical production of semisynthetic penicillins and cephalosporins from the hydrolysis products (6-APA, 7-ACA, 7-ADCA) of β-lactam antibiotics. The by-products phenylacetate and adipate can be recycled in the fermentations. The amounts produced are estimated from literature data [45].
Figure 2.3 Market for enzymes used as biocatalysts for different purposes 2010 (a), and the increase in the application of enzymes reflected in the number of employees in the industry producing enzymes for biocatalytic purposes and their worldwide sales since 1970 (b). Number of Novozymes employees that has about 50% of the world market for such enzymes (squares) and value of their worldwide sales (filled circles) are shown (Novozymes yearly reports, last one from 2010). The value of the world production of technical enzymes is much larger than shown in (a), as many companies that use enzymes as biocatalysts produce them in-house in order to have a safe and stable enzyme supply and/or protect their proprietary knowledge.
Scheme 2.2 An engineered amine transaminase could replace the earlier chemical process in the large-scale production of the drug sitagliptin [102, 103].
Scheme 2.3 An enzyme cascade reaction to convert unsaturated fatty acids such as oleic acid into ω-hydroxycarboxylic acids or dicarboxylic acids. Cofactors are not shown for clarity [111, 112].
Scheme 2.4 Enzyme cascade reactions to afford ε -caprolactone oligomers (top right, [115]) or 6-amino-hexanoic acid (bottom right, [116]), a Nylon 6 precursor, starting from cyclohexanol. In all cases, the required enzymes were recombinantly expressed in E. coli and whole cell extracts or lyophilized cells were used. ADH: alcohol dehydrogenase, CHMO: cyclohexanone monooxygenase, CAL-A: lipase A from C. antarctica , HLE: horse liver esterase, ATA: amine transaminase.
Scheme 2.5 Artemisinic acid (box) production pathway in an engineered S. cerevisiae strain [123]. The last step to the final product artemisinin is performed chemically. IPP, isopentyl diphosphate; DMAPP, dimethylallyl diphosphate; FPP, farnesyl diphosphate.
3: Molecular Engineering of Enzymes
Figure 3.1 The CASCO approach for designing enantioselective enzymes. Two rounds of in silico screening HTMI-MD simulations are included to reduce the occurrence of variants with low-energy structures that allow undesired substrate orientations (see also [76]).
Figure 3.2 Directed evolution in biomimetic gel-shell beads (GSBs). Single E. coli cells expressing the phosphotriesterase (a) are trapped into water-in-oil emulsion droplets that contain the phosphotriesterase substrate and a lysis agent (b). The enzyme reacts (if active) with the substrate at 30 °C, releasing a fluorescent product (c). After de-emulsification, the GBSs are formed retaining the enzyme, its encoding plasmid, and the reaction product (d). GBSs are sorted by fluorescence based on the variants' activity (e), and the phosphotriesterase encoding plasmid is recovered after removal of the polyelectrolyte shell by raising the pH (f). Isolated variants are characterized or subjected to further rounds of evolution.
Figure 3.3 CalB residues selected for iterative saturation mutagenesis (ISM).
Scheme 3.1 (a) P450-BM3 hydroxylation of cyclohexene-1-carboxylic acid methyl ester. (b) P450pyr hydroxylation of N -benzyl pyrrolidine. (c) P450pyr regio- and enantio-selective subterminal hydroxylation of alkanes. (d) P450-BM3 (A74G/L188Q) llylic hydroxylation of ω-alkenoic acids and esters.
Figure 3.4 General scheme for computational enzyme design using Rosetta. (a) A target reaction and its reaction mechanism are chosen; (b) key intermediates and the transition state (TS) are modeled in the context of a given binding pocket; (c) models are overlaid based on the protein functional group positions to create an idealized active site that can accommodate each state (namely substrates, TS and product); (d) active site models (theozymes) are computed with catalytic residues placed around the optimal geometry for the composite TS. Large ensembles of different conformations of these composite active sites are generated by varying the degrees of freedom of the composite TS, the orientation of the catalytic side chains regarding the composite TS, and the internal conformation of the catalytic side chains; (e) protein backbone positions able to hold such an idealized active site are searched among high-resolution crystal structures with ligand-binding pockets. Matches are optimized, including neighbor residues shaping the binding pocket; (f) best ranked designs are chosen for experimental validation [171, 172, 178, 179].
Scheme 3.2 Kemp elimination.
Scheme 3.3 Retro-aldol reaction. The retro-aldol reaction is initiated by a nucleophilic lysine, which forms with the substrate 16 a covalent enzyme–substrate imine complex. Fragmentation is followed by deprotonation of the hydroxyl group with a base, and the imine is then hydrolyzed to yield 17 .
Scheme 3.4 Diels–Alder reaction. Diene (18 ) and dienophile (19 ) undergo a pericyclic [4 + 2] cycloaddition to form a chiral cyclohexene ring (20 ).
Scheme 3.5 Chemical structures of the G-type nerve agents.

Figure 5.7 Schematic diagram of the photoimmobilization process. Enzyme patches are formed on the top and bottom of a microchannel using the following procedure. (1) Passivation of the surface with a fibrinogen monolayer is followed by (2) biotin-4-fluorescein surface attachment. This is accomplished by photobleaching with 488-nm laser light. (3) Next, the binding of streptavidin-linked enzymes can be exploited to immobilize catalysts and (4) to monitor reaction processes on-chip. (From [64] with permission ©2004, American Chemical Society.)

(c) Possible mechanism of polymerization process of enzyme and cross-linker reagent in a microchannel. (From [121] with permission ©2005 Royal Society of Chemistry.)
Figure 5.14 Schematic illustration of the procedure used to prepare an acylase-CEM (top). The cross-linking polymerization was performed in a concentric laminar flow. A silica capillary was fitted to the outer diameter of the T-shaped connector by attaching to a PTFE tube using heat-shrink tubing. The capillary was set in the connector located at the concentric position of the CEM tube. The cross-linker solution was supplied to the substrate PTFE tube through the silica capillary, corresponding to a central stream in the concentric laminar flow. A solution of acylase-poly-Lys mixture was poured from the other inlet of the T-shaped connector, and formed an outer stream of the laminar flow.
