Biocatalysis The Project

BIOCAT: New enzymes for the chiral* synthesis ofnew chemical compounds by structure based directed evolution

Structure based directed evolution towards new tailormade active enzymes

• Interdisciplinary approach: Structural biochemistry, chemical synthesis, molecular biology, enzymology.

• Starting points

•a superior structural framework

•a highly interesting chemical reaction: chiral hydroxy compounds

Rational Design:

Site-directed mutagenesis creates four starting points

for the directed evolution approach

Starting points (4)

ATIM (A)

ATIM-S96P (ASP)

ATIM-A178L (AAL)

First strains

Problems* Wild type like strains showed unexpected recombination events

* Wild type like strains showed difficulties to isolate plasmids

Solution* Simple protocol by use of pDK43 expressing λ red recombinase and the pCP20 expressing FLP both a 43 oC

Knockout strains

RpiA-/B-: Collaboration

XylA-: Created own strain based on E. coli K12:W3110

AraA-: based on E. coli K12:W3110 ongoing

Knockout strains – creating the experimental spaceUtilizing ribose sugars

Materials and protocols were a kind gift from:
