Transamination Reactions with Multiple Turnovers Catalyzed by Hydrophobic Pyridoxamine Cofactors in the Presence of Polyethylenimine Polymers
摘要:
Pyridoxamines carrying hydrophobic side chains reversibly bind into the hydrophobic core of polyethylenimines and transaminate ketoacids to amino acids with as much as a 725000-fold rate acceleration. Turnover catalysis was achieved by sacrificial oxidative decarboxylation of C-substituted amino acids, which reconverted the pyridoxals to pyridoxamines.

4-vinylimidazole and copolymers with 1-dodecyl-4-vinylimidazole were used as enzymemimics to transaminate pyruvic acid to alanine, phenylpyruvic acid to phenylalanine, and indole-3-pyruvic acid to tryptophan in water at pH 7.5 and 20 degrees C using pyridoxamines carrying hydrophobic side chains as coenzyme mimics. The best enzymemimic accelerated the transamination of indole-3-pyruvic acid by a factor of
