Redox cofactors are utilized by a myriad of proteins, ranging from metabolic enzymes to those performing post-translational modifications. Labeled redox cofactors have served as a vital tool for a broad range of studies. This account describes chemoenzymatic syntheses of the isotopically labeled, biologically important redox cofactors: nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, methylene tetrahydrofolate, and flavin nucleotides. An overview of the general strategy is presented. These examples demonstrate the utility of enzymatic synthesis.1 Introduction2 Nicotinamide Cofactors2.1 Synthesis of Remote-Labeled 14C-NADPH2.1.1 Synthesis of [Ad-14C]NADPH2.1.2 Synthesis of [Carbonyl-14C]NADPH2.2 Synthesis of S- and R-[4-3H]NADPH2.2.1 One-Step S- and Three-Step R-[4-3H]NADPH Synthesis2.2.2 One-Pot, One-Step R-[4-3H]NADPH Synthesis2.3 Synthesis of S- and R-[Ad-14C, 4-2H]NADPH2.3.1 One-Step S-, Three-Step R-[Ad-14C, 4-2H]NADPH Synthesis2.3.2 One-Pot, One-Step R-[Ad-14C, 4-2H]NADPH Synthesis3 Methylene Tetrahydrofolate4 Flavin Nucleotides5 Conclusions and Outlook

Abstract 2-Deoxy-scyllo-inosose (2DOI, [2S,3R,4S,5R]-2,3,4,5-tetrahydroxycyclohexan-1-one) is a biosynthetic intermediate of 2-deoxystreptamine-containing aminoglycoside antibiotics, including butirosin, kanamycin, and neomycin. In producer microorganisms, 2DOI is constructed from d-glucose 6-phosphate (G6P) by 2-deoxy-scyllo-inosose synthase (DOIS) with the oxidized form of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+). 2DOI is also known as a sustainable biomaterial for production of aromatic compounds and a chiral cyclohexane synthon. In this study, a one-pot enzymatic synthesis of 2DOI from d-glucose and polyphosphate was investigated. First, 3 polyphosphate glucokinases (PPGKs) were examined to produce G6P from d-glucose and polyphosphate. A PPGK derived from Corynebacterium glutamicum (cgPPGK) was found to be suitable for G6P production under ordinary enzymatic conditions. Next, 7 DOISs were examined for the one-pot enzymatic reaction. As a result, cgPPGK and BtrC, the latter of which is a DOIS derived from the butirosin producer Bacillus circulans, achieved nearly full conversion of d-glucose to 2DOI in the presence of polyphosphate.

<p>Three novel lanthanide metal˗organic frameworks (Ln-MOFs), namely MOF-590, -591, and -592 were constructed from a naphthalene diimide tetracarboxylic acid. Gas adsorption measurements of MOF-591 and -592 revealed good adsorption of CO<sub>2</sub> (low pressure, at room temperature) and moderate CO<sub>2</sub> selectivity over N<sub>2</sub> and CH<sub>4</sub>. Accordingly, breakthrough measurements were performed on a representative MOF-592, in which the separation of CO<sub>2</sub> from binary mixture containing N<sub>2</sub> and CO<sub>2</sub> was demonstrated without any loss in performance over three consecutive cycles. Moreover, MOF-590, MOF-591, and MOF-592 exhibited catalytic activity in the one-pot synthesis of styrene carbonate from styrene and CO<sub>2</sub> under mild conditions (1 atm CO<sub>2</sub>, 80 °C, and solvent-free). Among the new materials, MOF-590 revealed a remarkable efficiency with exceptional conversion (96%), selectivity (95%), and yield (91%). </p><br>

We report an efficient ten-step synthesis of antiviral natural product cavinafungin B in 37% overall yield. By leveraging a one-pot chemoenzymatic synthesis of (2S,4R)-4-methylproline and oxazolidine-tethered (Rink-Boc-ATG-resin) SPPS methodology, the assembly of our molecular target could be conducted in an efficient manner.This general strategy could prove amenable to the construction of other natural and unnatural linear lipopeptides. The value of incorporating biocatalytic steps in complex molecule synthesis is highlighted by this work.
