Amylose-grafted chitin and chitosan were synthesized by chemoenzymatic methods according to the following reaction manners. First, maltoheptaose was introduced to chitosan by a reductive amination using sodium cyanotrihydroborate in a mixed solvent of 1.0 mol/L aqueous acetic acid and methanol at room temperature to produce a maltoheptaose-grafted chitosan (1). The functionality of maltoheptaose to chitosan in 1 depended on reaction time. The phosphorylase-catalyzed enzymatic polymerization of R-D-glucose 1-phosphate was then performed from 1 to obtain amylose-grafted chitosan (2). Maltoheptaose-grafted chitin (3) was synthesized by N-acetylation of 1 using acetic anhydride in a mixed solvent of aqueous acetic acid and methanol. Then, synthesis of amylose-grafted chitin (4) was performed by the phosphorylase-catalyzed enzymatic polymerization under conditions the same as those for 2. The average DPs of amylose graft chains in 2 and 4 depended on the feed ratios of R-D-glucose 1-phosphate to maltoheptaose primers in 1 and 3. 相似文献
In this paper, we describe that amylose almost selectively includes poly(tetrahydrofuran) (PTHF) from a mixture of poly(oxetane) (POXT) and PTHF having resemblant chemical structures and molecular weights in vine-twining polymerization. This was performed by the phosphorylase-catalyzed enzymatic polymerization of alpha-D-glucose 1-phosphate from maltoheptaose as a primer in the presence of a mixture of POXT and PTHF to produce an amylose-PTHF inclusion complex. 相似文献
An oligomaltose-carrying polystyrene “glycoconjugate polystyrene” was synthesized by the homopolymerization of 4-vinylbenzylamine oligomaltonic amides, derived from maltose, maltotriose, maltopentaose, and maltoheptaose. The resultant amphiphilic glycoconjugate polystyrenes were dissolved in 0.1 M aqueous urea, and their structures characterized by small-angle X-ray scattering and molecular modeling. “Glycoconjugate polystyrene” was found to behave as a “molecular bottle brush”, composed of a large pseudo-helical polystyrene backbone and carbohydrate brushes. A large pseudo-helical polystyrene backbone is formed by a random sequence of TT, TG, and/or TTGG. The results indicate that the cross-section of a backbone chain with smaller oligosaccharide side-chains is obliged to expand more than that with longer side-chains. Even with rigid hydrophilic pendant oligosaccharide chains, the larger pseudo-helix of the main chain could orient the side-chains so as to envelop the hydrophobic backbone in aqueous solution. Thus the conformation of the main chain is determined not only by the chemical nature of an oligosaccharide chain but also by its length. 相似文献
Germinating seeds and developing seedlings of Phalaenopsis Habsburg and Phalaenopsis Ruth Burton × (Phalaenopsis Abendrot × Phalaenopsis Abendrot) can utilize glucose, maltose, maltotriose, maltotetraose, maltopentaose, maltohexaose, and maltoheptaose as carbon sources. Fresh weight decreased significantly with increased polymerization from glucose through maltoheptaose. Seedling survival declined on higher molecular weight sugars reaching levels which were significantly different from those on glucose. Sugar uptake increased moderately with increasing molecular weight of oligomers. The maltooligosaccharides used in these experiments are hydrolyzed by the orchid seedlings and of the sugars which can support good growth glucose, but not maltose accumulate in culture media. As a result, media which supported seedlings contained substantial levels of glucose, the starting sugars, and decreasing amounts of the next shorter oligomers. This suggests enzymatic endwise hydrolysis of these maltooligosaccharides. Similar results were obtained with Phalaenopsis seedlings produced from seeds which were germinated on sugar-free medium and transferred to a solution containing the same oligomers. Sugars in media which did not support seedlings were not hydrolyzed. 相似文献
Electroactive polyaniline films have been synthesized by using a copper-containing oxidoreductase, bilirubin oxidase (BOD). Enzymatic polymerization took place on the surface of BOD-adsorbed solid matrix which was in contact with a buffer solution containing aniline. Optimum conditions for enzymatic polymerization of aniline were investigated. Elemental analysis and IR spectroscopy indicated that the enzymatically synthesized film was polyaniline. The cyclic voltammetric studies demonstrated that the polyaniline film was electrochemically reversible in the redox properties in acidic aqueous solutions. Since the film retained enzymatic activity of BOD which was employed as a catalyst for polymerization, enzymatic polymerization seems promising in preparation of immobilized enzyme membranes. 相似文献
Boronic acid-based sensors for saccharides have been developed via biocatalysis. The self-doped copolymer of poly(aniline-co-3-aminobenzeneboronic acid) [poly(aniline-co-AB)], with various mole ratios of two components, was synthesized by oxidative enzymatic polymerization using a natural biocatalyst such as horseradish peroxidase together with an anionic polyelectrolyte template (sulfonated polystyrene) under mild conditions (pH 4.5). Poly(aniline-co-AB), having an aniline boronic acid-to-aniline ratio of 1:2 on average, gave rise to a green doped polymer with absorption maxima at 745 nm. The potentiometric detection of saccharides using poly(aniline-co-AB) is presented. Characteristics of both transient and steady-state response associated with the complex formation of poly(aniline-co-AB) with various saccharides were monitored by UV-vis spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry (CV). The results obtained from UV-vis spectroscopy and CV show that the sensitivity of enzymatically synthesized water-soluble poly(aniline-co-AB) for various saccharides was improved significantly compared to the chemically synthesized counterpart. A possible mechanism for the sensitive detection of sugar molecules by boronic acid is proposed on the basis of UV-vis and IR spectrophotometry, and four-point probe conductivity measurements. 相似文献
Poly(methyl methacrylate) and polystyrene having terminal amino groups were synthesized by the radical polymerization of those monomers in the presence of 2-mercaptoethylammonium chloride as a chain-transfer agent. By the terminal group analysis and the molecular weight determination of the polymers, 0.5–1.3 amino groups were found in a chain of poly(methyl methacrylate) and 0.5–2.5 amino groups in a chain of polystyrene. Using these polymers having a terminal amino group as an initiator, the block polymerization of α-amino acid N-carboxyanhydride (NCA) was carried out. In the polymerizations of Glu(OBzl) NCA and Lys(Z) NCA by the poly(methyl methacrylate) initiator, the terminal amino group underwent a nucleophilic addition reaction to NCA and initiated the polymerization, yielding A-B-type block copolymers in a high yield. The same was observed in the polymerizations of Gly(OBzl) NCA and Lys(Z) NCA by the polystyrene initiator. By eliminating the protecting groups of the side chains of the polypeptide segment, the block copolymers poly(methyl methacrylate)-poly(Glu), poly(methyl methacrylate)-poly(Lys), polystyrene-poly(Glu) and polystyrene-poly(Lys) were synthesized with little side reactions. The side chain amino groups of poly(Lys) segment in the poly(methyl methacrylate)-poly(Lys) block copolymers were sulphonated or stearoylated successfully. 相似文献
We established a facile regioselectively chemo-enzymatic synthesis procedure for the preparation of mutual derivatives of nucleosides and pyrimidines by sequential Markovnikov addition and acylation. Firstly, pyrimidine derivatives containing vinyl ester group were synthesized from pyrimidines and divinyl esters through Markovnikov addition catalyzed by K2CO3 in DMSO at 80 °C, and the yields were ranged from 50% to 87%. Then regioselective acylation of ribavirin and cytarabine with pyrimidine vinyl ester was catalyzed by CAL-B (immobilized lipase from Candida antarctica) in anhydrous acetone. Reaction conditions of enzymatic acylation including enzyme resource and solvents were optimized. A series of mutual derivatives of nucleosides and pyrimidines were synthesized successfully and characterized with NMR, IR, and HRMS. This chemo-enzymatic protocol involving sequential Markovnikov addition and acylation provided a novel way of synthesizing complicated functional compounds regioselectively which was hard to be achieved either by chemical or by enzymatic methods. 相似文献
Peptide Gly-L-Leu-L-Phe and its derivatives were synthesized by the C-end elongation utilizing DCC/HOBT technique and by enzymatic route with the help of papain using esters of N-benzyloxycarbonyl-glycine and -L-leucine as acyl donors have been suggested. The chemical, similarly to the enzymatic, synthesis was not accompanied by racemization. Conditions for HPLC separation and preparative isolation of the enzymatic reaction products were developed. 相似文献
An enzymatic assay for the determination of α-amylase in serum was developed which employed a soluble substrate, maltoheptaose, and a coupled enzymatic indicator reaction consisting of α-glucosidase and the hexokinase—glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase system. We used high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) to establish the action pattern of maltoheptaose under the test conditions: (A) the action pattern of α-amylase alone, (B) that of the combined action of α-amylase and α-glucosidase. Conducive to this effort was: the availability of pure maltoheptaose and human pancreatic α-amylase; the development of an adequate procedure for sample pretreatment (partition chromatography on a mixed-bed ion exchanger) and of an HPLC system for separation of substrate and reaction products without interference from by-products of the assay (partition chromatography on a cation-exchange column with acetonitrile—water); and the use of a new, very sensitive refractometric detector revealing sugar amounts as low as 40 ng.We derived the following stoichiometric equations: The standard deviation of the rate coefficients is about 5%. 相似文献

Alkoxyamino derivatives of oligosaccharides have been synthesized by enzymatic synthesis using a glycosynthase and a transglycosidase. The chemoselective assembly of unprotected oligosaccharides bearing glucose at the reducing end with N-alkyl-O-benzylhydroxylamine provides sugar derivatives that are good acceptors for enzymatic synthesis using either glycosynthase or transglycosidase. Furthermore, this method affords the possibility of controlling the regioselectivity of coupling depending on the nature of the alkoxyamino substituent and provides high-yield coupling of sugars without the need for complex protecting group chemistry. 相似文献

Dihydrodipicolinate synthase is a key enzyme in the lysine biosynthesis pathway that catalyzes the condensation of pyruvate and aspartate semi-aldehyde. A series of phenolic ketoacid derivatives that mimic the proposed enzymatic intermediate were designed as potential inhibitors of this enzyme and were synthesized from simple precursors. The ketoacid derivatives were shown to act as slow and slow-tight binding inhibitors. Mass spectrometric experiments provided further evidence to support the proposed model of inhibition, demonstrating either an encounter complex or a condensation product for the slow and slow-tight binding inhibitors, respectively. 相似文献

Cytotoxicity studies were carried out in HeLa, HepG2, Raji and Vero cells. Apoptosis-inducing properties were determined by caspase 3/7 activity and flow cytometry and interactions between the derivatives and tubulin were verified by fluorescence microscopy of living cells. 相似文献
The controlled graft modification of chitosan has first been achieved by nitroxide-mediated polymerization using chitosan-TEMPO macroinitiator. Chitosan-TEMPO macroinitiator was obtained from the (60)Co gamma-ray irradiation of N-phthaloylchitosan and 4-hydroxy-TEMPO in DMF under argon atmosphere. The graft copolymers were characterized by (1)H nuclear magnetic resonance ((1)H NMR), Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FT-IR), X-ray powder diffractometer (XRD) and high performance particle sizer (HPPS). The results indicate that the graft copolymers were successfully synthesized and that the graft polymerization was well controlled by the nitroxide-mediated process. The size distribution of chitosan-g-polystyrene in benzene is very narrow, which may be associated with the "well-defined" polystyrene (PSt) onto chitosan from nitroxide-mediated polymerization. This work provides a new method to prepare chitosan grafting copolymers with controlled molecular weights and "well-defined" structures. 相似文献
Synthetic mono- and disaccharide derivatives of moraprenyl pyrophosphate were studied as mannose acceptors during the assembly of the repeating unit Rha-Man-Man-Gal of the Salmonella newport (serogroup C2) and S. kentucky (serogroup C3) O-antigens. Mannosyl transferases revealed strict specificity towards the configuration of terminal monosaccharide residue at C1 as well as to the type of linkage between monosaccharide residues in the disaccharide acceptor. The specificity of mannosyl transferases towards the structure of subterminal monosaccharide was not absolute. Alpha-D-Glucose and alpha-D-mannose derivatives were found not to serve as mannosyl residue acceptors, whereas those of alpha-D-talose, alpha-D-fucose, 4-deoxy-D-xylo-hexose and Man (alpha 1-3) glucose were substrates in enzymatic mannosylation with formation of polyprenyl pyrophosphate trisaccharides. These derivatives could serve as substrates for two subsequent enzymatic reactions: rhamnosylation and polymerization of the repeating units, yielding 40-60% of the polysaccharides. 相似文献
A series of 6-amino-2-phenyl-4H-3,1-benzoxazin-4-one aminoacyl and dipeptidyl derivatives, in which aminoacids and dipeptides are linked to the benzoxazinone moiety via an amide bond, were synthesized and tested in vitro for their inhibitory activity towards human leukocyte elastase (HLE). When compared to their values without inhibitors, the residual enzymatic activities decrease with time, indicating a time-dependent inhibition. The most potent inhibitions were obtained when Z-Arg-(Pmc), Z-Val-Phe, Z-Ala-Val or Z-Val-Ala are linked to the 6-amino group. Twenty-five new compounds were synthesized. 相似文献
A series of hydroxyalkyl and acyloxyalkyl derivatives of 2- and 3-hydroxypyridine was synthesized and their biological activity was evaluated as growth inhibitors of protozoan Leishmania mexicana. Thirty novel compounds were obtained through a chemoenzymatic methodology in two reaction steps. The influence of various reaction parameters in the enzymatic step, such as enzyme source, acylating agent/substrate ratio, enzyme/substrate ratio, solvent and temperature, was studied. Some of the evaluated compounds showed a remarkable activity as Leishmania mexicana growth inhibitors, obtaining the best results with the acetylated derivatives. The advantages showed by the enzymatic methodology, such as mild reaction conditions and low environmental impact, make the biocatalysis a convenient way to prepare these derivatives of substituted pyridines with application as potential antiparasitic agents. 相似文献
