, p. 1527 - 1530 (1989)
We have shown that proton irradiation simulating the action of cosmic rays and solar flare particles formed proteinous and non-proteinous amino acids such as glycine, alanine, aspartic acid and β-alanine from a mixture of carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, nitrogen and water.The yield of amino acids per unit energy was the highest obtained among various prebiotic energy sources used.This result suggests the possibility of the formation of amino acids mildly reduced primitive atmospheres on the earth.

A novel methodology is reported for construction of active sites of artificial multinuclear metalloenzymes: Transfer of metal-chelating sites confined in a prebuilt cage to a polymeric backbone. Artificial active sites comprising two or three moieties of Cu(II) complex of tris(2-aminoethyl)amine (tren) were prepared by transfer of Cu(II)tren units confined in a molecular bowl (MB) to poly(chloromethylstyrene-co-divinylbenzene) (PCD). By treatment of unreacted chloro groups of the resulting PCD with methoxide and destruction of the MB moieties attached to PCD with acid followed by addition of Cu(II) ion to the exposed tren moieties, catalytic polymers with peptidase activity were obtained. The average number (β) of proximal Cu(II)tren moieties in the active site of the artificial multinuclear metallopeptidase was determined by quantifying the Cu(II) content. Several species of the artificial metallopeptidases with different β contents were prepared and examined for catalytic activity in hydrolysis of various cinnamoyl amide derivatives. The PCD-based catalytic polymers did not hydrolyze a neutral amide but effectively hydrolyzed carboxyl-containing amides (N-cinnamoyl glycine, N-cinnamoyl β-alanine, and N-cinnamoyl γ-amino butyrate). Analysis of the kinetic data revealed that the active sites comprising three Cu(II)tren units were mainly responsible for the catalytic activity. When analyzed in terms of k(cat), the catalytic activity of the PCD-based artificial peptidase was comparable to or better than the catalytic antibody with the highest peptidase activity reported to date. A mechanism is suggested for the effective cooperation among the three metal centers of the active site in hydrolysis of the carboxyl-containing amides.

l-Carnosine (l-Car, β-alanyl-l-histidine) is a bioactive dipeptide with important physiological functions. Direct coupling of unprotected β-Ala (β-alanine) with l-His (l-histidine) mediated by an enzyme is a promising method for l-Car synthesis. In this study, a new recombinant dipeptidase (SmPepD) from Serratia marcescens with a high synthetic activity toward l-Car was identified by a genome mining approach and successfully expressed in Escherichia coli. Divalent metal ions strongly promoted the synthetic activity of SmPepD, with up to 21.7-fold increase of activity in the presence of 0.1 mM MnCl2. Higher temperature, lower pH and increasing substrate loadings facilitated the l-Car synthesis. Pilot biocatalytic syntheses of l-Car were performed comparatively in batch and continuous modes. In the continuous process, an ultra-filtration membrane reactor with a working volume of 5 L was employed for catalyst retention. The dipeptidase, SmPepD, showed excellent operational stability without a significant decrease in space-time yield after 4 days. The specific yield of l-Car achieved was 105 gCar gcatalyst-1 by the continuous process and 30.1 gCar gcatalyst-1 by the batch process. A nanofiltration membrane was used to isolate the desired product l-Car from the reaction mixture by selectively removing the excess substrates, β-Ala and l-His. As a result, the final l-Car content was effectively enriched from 2.3% to above 95%, which gave l-Car in 99% purity after ethanol precipitation with a total yield of 60.2%. The recovered substrate mixture of β-Ala and l-His can be easily reused, which will enable the economically attractive and environmentally benign production of the dipeptide l-Car.

Chistotina, N. P.,Zharov, A. A.
, p. 944 - 949 (1992)
Radical polymerization and nucleophilic addition of an amide group to the double bond of acrylamide take place parallel in conditions of shear deformation and high pressures (up to 8 GPa). Large shear deformations cause the formation of β-alanine as the result of reactions of hydrolysis of amide groups and peptide bonds. Keywords: pressure, shear deformation, acrylamide, polyacrylamide, radical polymerization, nucleophilic addition, hydrolysis, β-alanine.

Smirnova,Khizhnyak,Nikol’skii,Khalyapina, Ya. M.,Pakhomov
, p. 507 - 511 (2017)
The destruction of complexons derived from succinic acid under the action of UV radiation was studied. IR spectroscopy, thin-layer paper chromatography, and complexometric titration were used to determine the destruction products of these complexons. It was found that the complexons decompose under UV irradiation substantially more easily than ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid does, and the products of their decomposition can undergo a biological utilization under natural conditions. The data obtained in the study make it possible to choose, instead of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, ligands that will be nearly fully destructible in the light without deteriorating the ecology.

, p. 986 - 987 (2002)
Formation of amino acids from mixtures of methanol, ammonia and water in various phases by γ-rays and UV irradiation were quantitatively verified. A wide variety of amino acids were detected in every hydrosate of the product. Each G-value (the number of formed molecules per deposit energy of 100eV) was around 10-2 order, which was independent from the phase of the starting materials and kind of the energy.

Production of β-Alanine from Fumaric Acid Using a Dual-Enzyme Cascade
Qian, Yuanyuan,Liu, Jia,Song, Wei,Chen, Xiulai,Luo, Qiuling,Liu, Liming
, p. 4998 - 5005 (2018)
The aim of this study was to develop an environmentally safe and efficient method for β-alanine production using a dual-enzyme cascade route with L-aspartase (AspA) from E. coli and L-aspartate-α-decarboxylase (PanD) from Corynebacterium glutamicum. Poor cooperativity in this system due to the divergent catalysis efficiencies of AspA and PanD led to an imbalance between the two reactions. To address this issue, we employed ribosome binding site regulation and gene duplication to coordinate the expression levels of AspA and PanD. Finally, we achieved β-alanine production of 80.4±1.6 g L?1 with a conversion rate of 95.3±1.6 % in a 5-L bioreactor. The dual-enzyme cascade reported herein represents a promising strategy to meet industrial requirements for large-scale β-alanine production in the future.

, p. S60 - S67 (2016)
An efficient biosynthesis of β-alanine from 3-aminopropionitrile at high concentration has been developed using a one-pot bienzymatic cascade of a nitrilase and an amidase. The nitrilase BjNIT3397 from Bradyrhizobium japonicum strain USDA110 catalyzes the hydrolysis of 3-aminopropionitrile to β-alanine at the concentration up to 3.0 mol/L with the formation 23% of 3-aminopropanamide. In order to eliminate the by-product 3-aminopropanamide, we cloned and characterized a new amidase from Pseudomonas nitroreducens through gene mining. Under the optimal conditions (50 mmol/L Na2HPO4-NaH2PO4 buffer, pH 6.0, 40 °C), 2.0 mol/L (176 g/L) of 3-aminopropanamide was completely hydrolyzed within 12 h. A tandem reaction system was then established to eliminate the by-product 3-aminopropanamide and increase the production of β-alanine to 90% isolated yield with 15.02 g/(L.h) space-time-yield. These results demonstrated that the tandem reaction strategy was an effective method of eliminating the amide by-products in the nitrilase-catalyzed hydrolysis at high substrate concentration.

Gani, David,Young, Douglas W.
, p. 1355 - 1362 (1985)
A mammalian enzyme system has been used to study the stereochemistry of the catabolism of the pyrimidine uracil (1) to the amino acid β-alanine (4).Use of - and - uracils and of (2)H2O in the incubations yielded sterospecifically deuteriated samples of β-alanine.Assays, involving total synthesis of samples of β-alanine unambigously labelled with deuterium in each of the four C-H bonds have shown that, in the first step in the catabolic process, uracil is reduced by dihydrouracil dehydrogenase with overall anti addition of hydrogen, at the si face at C-6 and the si face at C-5.

Kinetics of oxidation of pantothenic acid by chloramine-T in perchloric acid and in alkaline medium catalyzed by OsO4: A mechanistic approach
Puttaswamy,Jagadeesh
, p. 201 - 210 (2005)
Kinetics of oxidation of pantothenic acid (PA) by sodium N-chloro-p-toluenesulfonamide or chloramine-T (CAT) in the presence of HClO 4 and NaOH (catalyzed by OsO4) has been investigated at 313 K. The stoichiometry and oxidation products are same in both media; however, their kinetic patterns were found to be different. In acid medium, the rate shows first-order dependence on |CAT|o, fractional-order dependence on |PA|o, and inverse fractional-order on |H+|. In alkaline medium, the rate shows first-order dependence each on |CAT| o and |PA|o and fractional-order dependence on each of |OH-| and |OsO4|. Effects of added p-toluenesulfonamide and halide ions, varying ionic strength, and dielectric constant of medium as well as solvent isotope on the rate of reaction have been investigated. Activation parameters were evaluated, and the reaction constants involved in the mechanisms have been computed. The proposed mechanisms and the derived rate laws are consistent with the observed kinetics.

Chemobiocatalytic selective transformation is an attractive yet challenging task, due to the incompatibility issues between different types of catalysts. In this work, one-pot, multi-step cascades integrating biocatalysis with organo-, base- and photocatalysis in a plug-and-play fashion were constructed for the controllable synthesis of eight C4 chemicals from furfural. Furfural was converted to 5-hydroxy-2(5H)-furanone (HFO) by sequential biocatalytic oxidation and photooxygenation in phosphate buffer, in >90% yields. Ring opening and concurrent isomerization of HFO to fumaric semialdehyde (FSA) were readily realized under mild conditions by a weakly basic resin (e.g., DVB resin). The versatile intermediate FSA could be oxidized to fumaric acid (FA) using a laccase-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidinyl-1-oxy (TEMPO) system, which was further upgraded to amino acids including l-aspartic acid (l-Asp) and β-alanine (β-Ala) by whole-cell catalysis. Notably, amino acids were obtained from biobased furfural in a one-pot, four-step process with yields of up to 75%, without the isolation of any intermediates. Besides, the scale-up synthesis of l-Asp was demonstrated. This work demonstrates the great potential of the combination of chemo- and biocatalysis for selective furfural valorization.

Enzymatic conversion of nitriles to carboxylic acids by nitrilases has gained significance in the green synthesis of several pharmaceutical precursors and fine chemicals. Although nitrilases from several sources have been characterized, there exists a scope for identifying broad spectrum nitrilases exhibiting higher substrate tolerance and better thermostability to develop industrially relevant biocatalytic processes. Through genome mining, we have identified nine novel nitrilase sequences from bacteria and evaluated their activity on a broad spectrum of 23 industrially relevant nitrile substrates. Nitrilases from Zobellia galactanivorans, Achromobacter insolitus and Cupriavidus necator were highly active on varying classes of nitriles and applied as whole cell biocatalysts in lab scale processes. Z. galactanivorans nitrilase could convert 4-cyanopyridine to achieve yields of 1.79 M isonicotinic acid within 3 h via fed-batch substrate addition. The nitrilase from A. insolitus could hydrolyze 630 mM iminodiacetonitrile at a fast rate, effecting 86 % conversion to iminodiacetic acid within 1 h. The arylaliphatic nitrilase from C. necator catalysed enantioselective hydrolysis of 740 mM mandelonitrile to (R)-mandelic acid in 4 h. Significantly high product yields suggest that these enzymes would be promising additions to the suite of nitrilases for upscale biocatalytic application.
