Arnold Division of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering California Institute of Technology 1200 E. California Blvd. MC 210-41, Pasadena, CA 91125 (USA) http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/anie.201409470/pdf Abstruction High selectivity and exquisite control over the outcome of reactions entice chemists to use biocatalysts in organic synthesis. However, many useful reactions are not accessible because they are not in nature s known repertoire. In this Review, we outline an evolutionary approach to engineering enzymes to catalyze reactions not found in nature. We begin with examples of how nature has discovered new catalytic functions and how such evolutionary progression has been recapitulated in the laboratory starting from extant enzymes. We then examine non-native enzyme activities that have been exploited for chemical synthesis, with an emphasis on reac...

Angewandte Chemie International Edi... by Jean-Philippe Porcher, Thibault Fogeron, Maria Gomez-Mingot, Etienne Derat, Lise-Marie Chamoreau, Yun Li, Marc Fontecave  /  3d  //  keep unread  //  hide  //  preview Article first published online: 25 SEP 2015 DOI: 10.1002/anie.201505607   http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/anie.201505607/abstract Abstract A molybdenum–dithiolene–oxo complex was prepared as a model of some active sites of Mo/W-dependent enzymes. The ligand, a quinoxaline–pyran-fused dithiolene, mimics molybdopterin present in these active sites. For the first time, this type of complex was shown to be active as a catalyst for the photoreduction of protons with excellent turnover numbers (500) and good stability in aqueous/organic media and for the electroreduction of protons in acetonitrile with remarkable rate constants (1030 s −1 at −1.3 V versus Ag/AgCl). DFT calculat...
