An ensemble of JHH, JCH, and JCC values was measured in aqueous solutions of methyl α- and β-d-idohexopyranosides containing selective 13C-enrichment at various carbons. By comparing these J-couplings to those reported previously in the α- and β-d-idohexopyranoses, methyl glycosidation was found to affect ring conformational equilibria, with the percentages of 4C1 forms based on 3JHH analysis as follows: α-d-idopyranose, methyl α-d-idopyranoside, methyl β-d-idopyranoside, β-d-idopyranose, 82%. JCH and JCC values were analyzed with assistance from theoretical values obtained from density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Linearized plots of the percentages of 4C1 against limiting JCH and JCC values in the chair forms were used to (a) determine the compatibility of the experimental JCH and JCC values with 4C1/1C4 ratios determined from JHH analysis and (b) determine the sensitivity of specific JCH and JCC values to ring conformation. Ring conformational equilibria for methyl idohexopyranosides differ significantly from those predicted from recent molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, indicating that equilibria determined by MD for ring configurations with energetically flat pseudorotational itineraries may not be quantitative. J-couplings in methyl α-l-[6-13C]idopyranosiduronic acid and methyl α-d-[6-13C]glucopyranosiduronic acid were measured as a function of solution pH. The ring conformational equilibrium is pH-dependent in the iduronic acid.

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.
