A chiral perylene diimide building block has been prepared based on an amine derivative of the amino acid L-phenylalanine. Detailed studies were carried out into the self-assembly behaviour of the material in solution and the solid state using UV/Vis, circular dichroism (CD) and fluorescence spectroscopy. For the charged building block BTPPP, the molecular chirality of the side chains is translated into the chiral supramolecular structure in the form of right-handed helical aggregates in aqueous solution. Temperature-dependent UV/Vis studies of BTPPP in aqueous solution showed that the self-assembly behaviour of this dye can be well described by an isodesmic model in which aggregation occurs to generate short stacks in a reversible manner. Wide-angle X-ray diffraction studies (WXRD) revealed that this material self-organises into aggregates with π-π stacking distances typical for π-conjugated materials. TEM investigations revealed the formation of self-assembled structures of low order and with no expression of chirality evident. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and polarised optical microscopy (POM) were used to investigate the mesophase properties. Optical textures representative of columnar liquid-crystalline phases were observed for solvent-annealed samples of BTPPP. The high solubility, tunable self-assembly and chiral ordering of these materials demonstrate their potential as new molecular building blocks for use in the construction of chiro-optical structures and devices.

Mutant α-amino-ε-caprolactam (ACL) racemase (L19V/L78T) from Achromobacter obae with improved substrate specificity toward phenylalaninamide was obtained by directed evolution. The mutant ACL racemase and thermostable mutant D-amino acid amidase (DaaA) from Ochrobactrum anthropi SV3 co-expressed in Escherichia coli (pACLmut/pDBFB40) were utilized for synthesis of (R)-phenylalanine and non-natural (R)-phenylalanine derivatives (4-OH, 4-F, 3-F, and 2-F-Phe) by dynamic kinetic resolution (DKR). Recombinant E. coli with DaaA and mutant ACL racemase genes catalyzed the synthesis of (R)-phenylalanine with 84% yield and 99% ee from (RS)-phenylalaninamide (400 mM) in 22 h. (R)-Tyrosine and 4-fluoro-(R)-phenylalanine were also efficiently synthesized from the corresponding amide compounds. We also co-expresed two genes encoding mutant ACL racemase and L-amino acid amidase from Brevundimonas diminuta in E. coli and performed the efficient production of various (S)-phenylalanine derivatives. Moreover, 2-aminophenylpropionitrile was converted to (R)-phenylalanine by DKR using a combination of the non-stereoselective nitrile hydratase from recombinamt E. coli and mutant ACL racemase and DaaA from E. coli encoding mutant ACL racemase and DaaA genes.
