The enzymatic synthesis of α-amino acids is a sustainable and efficient alternative to chemical processes, through which achieving enantiopure products is difficult. To more address this synthesis efficiently, a hierarchical architecture that irreversibly co-immobilises an amino acid dehydrogenase with polyethyleneimine on porous agarose beads has been designed and fabricated. The cationic polymer acts as an irreversible anchoring layer for the formate dehydrogenase. In this architecture, the two enzymes and polymer colocalise across the whole microstructure of the porous carrier. This multifunctional heterogeneous biocatalyst was kinetically characterised and applied to the enantioselective synthesis of a variety of canonical and noncanonical α-amino acids in both discontinuous (batch) and continuous modes. The co-immobilised bienzymatic system conserves more than 50 % of its initial effectiveness after five batch cycles and 8 days of continuous operation. Additionally, the environmental impact of this process has been semiquantitatively calculated and compared with the state of the art.
ω-Transaminase-catalyzed asymmetric synthesis of unnatural amino acids using isopropylamine as an amino donor

Isopropylamine is an ideal amino donor for reductive amination of carbonyl compounds by ω-transaminase (ω-TA) owing to its cheapness and high volatility of a ketone product. Here we developed asymmetric synthesis of unnatural amino acids via ω-TA-catalyzed amino group transfer between α-keto acids and isopropylamine.

Two systems of redox enzymatic reactions were tested, looking forward to the preparation of (S)-3-fluoroalanine, a potent antibiotic, by kinetic resolution of rac-3-fluoroalanine. This starting material was the main substrate for the deaminative oxidation reaction catalyzed by L-alanine dehydrogenase (L-AlaDH) in the presence of NAD+. One system was formed by coupling this reaction (main reaction) to the reduction of 3-fluoropyruvate (a cascade system) produced in the main reaction catalyzed by L-lactate dehydrogenase (L-LDH) in the presence of NADH, also formed in the main reaction. This system, that was able to achieve 92% of conversion, allows the accumulation of NH 4+, one of the secondary products of the main reaction. The other coupled redox system involved the coupling to the L-AlaDH reaction to the aminative reduction reaction of α-ketoglutarate in the presence of NADH and NH4+ (both side products of the main reaction) catalyzed by L-glutamate dehydrogenase (L-GluDH), that allows accumulation of 3-fluoropyruvate. With this system, the extent of the reaction in the coupled system was only 22%. This big difference in the efficiency of both systems was identified as being the result of a different potency of the products that accumulates in both systems, acting as inhibitors of L-AlaDH. It was demonstrated that 3-fluoropyruvate is a much stronger inhibitor of L-AlaDH than NH4+. This fact, and not thermodynamic considerations, explains the results obtained with both systems.
