The present invention provides methods for catalyzing the conversion of an olefin to any compound containing one or more cyclopropane functional groups using heme enzymes. In certain aspects, the present invention provides a method for producing a cyclopropanation product comprising providing an olefinic substrate, a diazo reagent, and a heme enzyme; and admixing the components in a reaction for a time sufficient to produce a cyclopropanation product. In other aspects, the present invention provides heme enzymes including variants and fragments thereof that are capable of carrying out in vivo and in vitro olefin cyclopropanation reactions. Expression vectors and host cells expressing the heme enzymes are also provided by the present invention.
本发明提供了使用血红素酶催化烯烃向任何含有一个或多个环丙烷官能团的化合物转化的方法。在某些方面,本发明提供了一种生产环丙烷化产物的方法,包括提供烯烃底物、重氮试剂和血红素酶;以及在反应中将各组分混合足够长的时间以生产环丙烷化产物。在其他方面,本发明提供了能够进行体内和体外烯烃环丙烷化反应的血红素酶,包括其变体和片段。本发明还提供了表达血红素酶的表达载体和宿主细胞。
