Genome mining for novel Fe(II)/α-ketoglutarate-dependent dioxygenases (αKGDs) to expand the enzymatic repertoire in the oxidation of l-proline is reported. Through clustering of proteins, we predicted regio- and stereoselectivity in the hydroxylation reaction and validated this hypothesis experimentally. Two novel byproducts in the reactions with enzymes from Bacillus cereus and Streptomyces sp. were isolated, and the structures were determined to be a 3,4-epoxide and a 3,4-diol, respectively. The mechanism for the formation of the epoxide was investigated by performing an 18O-labeling experiment. We propose that the mechanism proceeds via initial cis-3-hydroxylation followed by ring closure. A biocatalytic step was run on subgram quantities of starting material without any significant optimization of the conditions. However, the substrate concentration was 40-fold higher than the usual reported titers for recombinant P450-mediated hydroxylations, showing the synthetic potential of αKGDs on a preparative scale.
Pyrrolidino DNA with bases corresponding to the 2-oxo deletion mutants of thymine and cytosine: Synthesis and triplex-forming properties

The dual recognition properties of pyrrolidino DNA species as parallel triplex-forming oligonucleotides were previously found to be strongly dependent upon the nature of the pyrimidine bases. In the structure-activity study presented here we were able to
