- Development of a biocatalytic cascade for synthesis of 2-oxo-4-(hydroxymethylphosphinyl) butyric acid in one pot
-
2-Oxo-4-(hydroxymethylphosphinyl) butyric acid (PPO) is an important precursor compound for the broad-spectrum herbicide l-glufosinate (L-PPT). In this study, the gene of d-amino acid oxidase (DAAO) was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. By coupling exogenous catalase (CAT), a biocatalytic cascade was constructed for synthesis of PPO in one pot. The bioprocess was optimized on a 300 mL scale reaction by one factor at a time optimization. The conversion of this biocatalytic cascade achieved 46.8% towards 400 mM DL-PPT within 4 h. These results indicated that DAAO could be applied to the large-scale bioproduction of PPO and provide a promising route for the asymmetric synthesis of L-PPT by bio-enzymatic methods using PPO as the substrate.

- METHODS FOR IMPROVING YIELDS OF L-GLUFOSINATE
-
Compositions and methods for the production of L-glufosinate are provided. The method involves converting racemic glufosinate to the L-glufosinate enantiomer or converting PRO to L-glufosinate in an efficient manner. In particular, the method involves the specific amination of PRO to L-glufosinate, using L-glutamate, racemic glutamate, or another amine source as an amine donor. PRO can be obtained by the oxidative deamination of D-glufosinate to PRO (2- oxo-4-(hydroxy(methyl)phosphinoyl)butyric acid) or generated via chemical synthesis. PRO is then converted to L-glufosinate using a transaminase in the presence of an amine donor. When the amine donor donates an amine to PRO, L-glufosinate and a reaction by product are formed. Because the PRO remaining represents a yield loss of L-glufosinate, it is desirable to minimize the amount of PRO remaining in the reaction mixture. Degradation, other chemical modification, extraction, sequestration, binding, or other methods to reduce the effective concentration of the by-product, i.e., the corresponding alpha ketoacid or ketone to the chosen amine donor will shift the reaction equilibrium toward L-glufosinate, thereby reducing the amount of PRO and increasing the yield of L-glufosinate. Therefore, the methods described herein involve the conversion or elimination of the alpha ketoacid or ketone by-product to another product to shift the equilibrium towards L-glufosinate.

- Enantioselective Synthesis of Both Enantiomers of Phosphinothricin via Asymmetric Hydrogenation of α-Acylamido Acrylates
-
Both enantiomers of phoshinothricin (1), a naturally occuring amino acid that contains the unique methylphosphinate moiety, were prepared by asymmetric hydrogenation of α-acylamido acrylate precursors 7.L-1 and peptides containing L-1 are inhibitors of the enzyme glutamine synthetase (GS).Inhibition of GS is responsible for the antibiotical and herbicidal properties of these compounds.Synthesis of substrates 7 and parameters influencing the enantioselectivity are discussed.Substrate concentration and solvent polarity appear to have the most marked effects on enantiomeric excesses for a given catalyst system.Enantiomeric excesses reach 91percent for hydrogenations with (R,R)-NORPHOS- and (S,S)-CHIRAPHOS-derived catalysts.
