Small molecule irreversible inhibitors are valuable tools for determining catalytically important active-site residues and revealing key details of the specificity, structure, and function of glycoside hydrolases (GHs). β-glucans that contain backbone β(1,3) linkages are widespread in nature, e.g., mixed-linkage β(1,3)/β(1,4)-glucans in the cell walls of higher plants and β(1,3)glucans in yeasts and algae. Commensurate with this ubiquity, a large diversity of mixed-linkage endoglucanases (MLGases, EC 3.2.1.73) and endo-β(1,3)-glucanases (laminarinases, EC 3.2.1.39 and EC 3.2.1.6) have evolved to specifically hydrolyze these polysaccharides, respectively, in environmental niches including the human gut. To facilitate biochemical and structural analysis of these GHs, with a focus on MLGases, we present here the facile chemo-enzymatic synthesis of a library of active-site-directed enzyme inhibitors based on mixed-linkage oligosaccharide scaffolds and N-bromoacetylglycosylamine or 2-fluoro-2-deoxyglycoside warheads. The effectiveness and irreversibility of these inhibitors were tested with exemplar MLGases and an endo-β(1,3)-glucanase. Notably, determination of inhibitor-bound crystal structures of a human-gut microbial MLGase from Glycoside Hydrolase Family 16 revealed.

Paragraph 0029-0040, (2020/11/01)
The invention relates to a method for preparing lactic acid through catalytically converting carbohydrate, and in particular, relates to a process for preparing lactic acid by catalytically convertingcarbohydrate under hydrothermal conditions. The method disclosed by the invention is characterized by specifically comprising the following steps: 1) adding carbohydrate and a catalyst into a closedhigh-pressure reaction kettle, and then adding pure water for mixing; 2) introducing nitrogen into the high-pressure reaction kettle to discharge air, introducing nitrogen of 2 MPa, stirring and heating to 160-300 DEG C, and carrying out reaction for 10-120 minutes; 3) putting the high-pressure reaction kettle in an ice-water bath, and cooling to room temperature; and 4) filtering the solution through a microporous filtering membrane to obtain the target product. The method can realize high conversion rate of carbohydrate and high yield of lactic acid, and has the advantages of less catalyst consumption, good circularity, small corrosion to reaction equipment and the like.

A highly selective self-condensation of glycolaldehyde to different C4 molecules has been achieved using Lewis acidic stannosilicate catalysts in water at moderate temperatures (40–100 °C). The medium-sized zeolite pores (10-membered ring framework) in Sn-MFI facilitate the formation of tetrose sugars while hindering consecutive aldol reactions leading to hexose sugars. High yields of tetrose sugars (74 %) with minor amounts of vinyl glycolic acid (VGA), an α-hydroxyacid, are obtained using Sn-MFI with selectivities towards C4 products reaching 97 %. Tin catalysts having large pores or no pore structure (Sn-Beta, Sn-MCM-41, Sn-SBA-15, tin chloride) led to lower selectivities for C4 sugars due to formation of hexose sugars. In the case of Sn-Beta, VGA is the main product (30 %), illustrating differences in selectivity of the Sn sites in the different frameworks. Under optimized conditions, GA can undergo further conversion, leading to yields of up to 44 % of VGA using Sn-MFI in water. The use of Sn-MFI offers multiple possibilities for valorization of biomass-derived GA in water under mild conditions selectively producing C4 molecules.
Acid-Assisted Ball Milling of Cellulose as an Efficient Pretreatment Process for the Production of Butyl Glycosides

Ball milling of cellulose in the presence of a catalytic amount of H2SO4 was found to be a promising pre-treatment process to produce butyl glycosides in high yields. Conversely to the case of water, n-butanol has only a slight effect on the recrystallization of ball-milled cellulose. As a result, thorough depolymerization of cellulose prior the glycosylation step is no longer required, which is a pivotal aspect with respect to energy consumption. This process was successfully transposed to wheat straw from which butyl glycosides and xylosides were produced in good yields. Butyl glycosides and xylosides are important chemicals as they can be used as hydrotropes but also as intermediates in the production of valuable amphiphilic alkyl glycosides.
Catalytic effect of aluminium chloride on the example of the conversion of sugar model compounds

Abstract In this work, the catalytic effect of the Bronsted acid hydrochloric acid, the Bronsted base sodium hydroxide and the Lewis acid AlCl3 on the conversion of biomass derived carbohydrates is investigated. On the example of the glycolaldehyde conversion, it is shown that the Lewis acid catalyses the ketol-endiol-tautomerism, the dehydration, the retro-aldol-reaction and the benzilic-acid-rearrangement. The main products are C4- and C6-carbohydrates as well as their secondary products 2-hydroxybut-3-enoic acid 1 and several furans. Under the same reaction conditions hydrochloric acid catalyzes mainly the dehydration and sodium hydroxide the tautomerism and subsequent aldolization.

A water-tolerant Lewis acid catalyst was synthesized by grafting Sn IV in isopropanol under reflux onto dealuminated zeolites with the BEA (β) topology. This synthesis method allows the production of highly active Snβ-type catalysts without the need for long hydrothermal syntheses or hydrogen fluoride, while using cheap Sn-precursors, industrially available β zeolites and standard catalyst synthesis unit operations. Extensive characterization of the best catalyst shows highly dispersed Sn in the zeolite matrix (XRD, 29Si MAS NMR and 1H MAS NMR) without the formation of SnO2 (XRD and UV-Vis). The catalyst was tested for the model isomerization of sugars such as glucose to fructose. The catalytic activity proved to be purely heterogeneous and the catalyst was recycled and reused without significant loss in activity. Isomerization productivities above 4 kg product per kg of catalyst per hour are reported with appreciably low Sn loadings, corresponding to exceptionally high turnover frequencies, viz. 500 cycles per Sn per hour at 110 °C, which surpass the activity per Sn of the original hydrothermally synthesized Snβ.
Development of a chemical strategy to produce rare aldohexoses from ketohexoses using 2-aminopyridine

Rare sugars are monosaccharides that are found in relatively low abundance in nature. Herein, we describe a strategy for producing rare aldohexoses from ketohexoses using the classical Lobry de Bruyn-Alberda van Ekenstein transformation. Upon Schiff-base formation of keto sugars, a fluorescence-labeling reagent, 2-aminopyridine (2-AP), was used. While acting as a base catalyst, 2-AP efficiently promoted the ketose-to-aldose transformation, and acting as a Schiff-base reagent, it effectively froze the ketose-aldose equilibrium. We could also separate a mixture of Sor, Gul, and Ido in their Schiff-base forms using a normal-phase HPLC separation system. Although Gul and Ido represent the most unstable aldohexoses, our method provides a practical way to rapidly obtain these rare aldohexoses as needed.
