The selective hydroxylation of benzene to phenol, without the formation of side products resulting from overoxidation, is catalyzed by cytochrome P450BM3 with the assistance of amino acid derivatives as decoy molecules. The catalytic turnover rate and the total turnover number reached 259 min?1 P450BM3?1 and 40 200 P450BM3?1 when N-heptyl-l-proline modified with l-phenylalanine (C7-l-Pro-l-Phe) was used as the decoy molecule. This work shows that amino acid derivatives with a totally different structure from fatty acids can be used as decoy molecules for aromatic hydroxylation by wild-type P450BM3. This method for non-native substrate hydroxylation by wild-type P450BM3 has the potential to expand the utility of P450BM3 for biotransformations.

Chemoenzymatic peptide synthesis is a rapidly developing technology for cost effective peptide production on a large scale. As an alternative to the traditional C→N strategy, which employs expensive N-protected building blocks in each step, we have investigated an N→C extension route that is based on activation of a peptide C-terminal amide protecting group to the corresponding methyl ester. We found that this conversion is efficiently catalysed by Stenotrophomonas maltophilia peptide amidase in neat organic media. The system excludes the possibility of internal peptide cleavage as the enzyme lacks intrinsic protease activity. The produced peptide methyl ester was used for peptide chain extension in a kinetically controlled reaction by a thermostable protease.

Amino acid and peptide conjugates of quinine were synthesized using microwave irradiation in 52-95% yields using benzotriazole methodology. The majority of these conjugates retain in vitro antimalarial activity with IC50 values below 100 nm, similar to quinine.
