摘要:
The present disclosure provides recombinant bacterial cells that have been engineered with genetic circuitry which allow the recombinant bacterial cells to sense a patient's internal environment and respond by turning an engineered metabolic pathway on or off. When turned on, the recombinant bacterial cells complete all of the steps in a metabolic pathway to achieve a therapeutic effect in a host subject. These recombinant bacterial cells are designed to drive therapeutic effects throughout the body of a host from a point of origin of the microbiome. Specifically, the present disclosure provides recombinant bacterial cells comprising a heterologous gene encoding a branched chain amino acid catabolism enzyme. The disclosure further provides pharmaceutical compositions comprising the recombinant bacteria, and methods for treating disorders involving the catabolism of branched chain amino acids using the pharmaceutical compositions disclosed herein.

摘要:
The present disclosure relates to the use of an amino acid dehydrogenase in combination with a cofactor regenerating system comprising a ketoreductase. In particular embodiments, the process can be used to prepare L-tert-leucine using a leucine dehydrogenase.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a novel biocatalytic method for the production of primary and secondary amines, comprising coupled enzymatic oxidation and reduction processes simultaneously regenerating the required cofactor; making use of two enzymes - i.e. an alcohol dehydrogenase and an amine dehydrogenase - operating simultaneously in a one pot process (i.e. biocatalytic cascade). Furthermore, the overall process is redox neutral, since the hydride generated from the first oxidative step is internally recycled in the second reductive step. The invention also relates to recombinant expression systems and microorganisms procuring the required enzyme activities; and bioreactors for performing such methods.
摘要:
A process for producing a vinylglycine derivative, comprising a reaction with a vinyl glyoxylic acid derivative and a transformant harboring an amino acid dehydrogenase gene.
摘要:
Methods for chemically transforming compounds using a mutated enzyme are provided, and more particularly a method for the production of an amino acid from a target 2-ketoacid, the production of an amine from a target ketone and the production of an alcohol from a target ketone. The methods comprise creating a mutated enzyme that catalyzes the reductive amination or transamination of the target 2-ketoacid or ketone or the reduction of the ketone and providing the mutated enzyme in a reaction mixture comprising the target 2-ketoacid or ketone under conditions sufficient to permit the formation of the desired amino acid, amine or alcohol to thereby produce the amino acid, amine or alcohol.
