  • IN VIVO METHOD FOR THE PRODUCTION OF TULIPALIN A VIA ITACONIC ACID
    Publication number: 20260286407
    Abstract: The present invention is concerned with the in vivo production of tulipalin A (?-methylene-?-butyrolactone). Provided are methods for the in vivo production of tulipalin A, recombinant cells or organisms for in vivo production of tulipalin A, enzymes needed for the in vivo production of tulipalin A, and nucleic acids for expression of those enzymes.

  • METHOD FOR PREPARING ALPHA-BRANCHED BETA'-HYDROXY CARBONYL COMPOUNDS BY ENZYMATIC-CATALYZED REDUCTIVE ALDOL REACTION
    Publication number: 20250250593
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for preparing ?-branched ??-hydroxy carbonyl compounds through enzymatic-catalyzed reductive aldol reaction by reacting ?,?-unsaturated carbonyl donors with carbonyl acceptors in the presence of a polypeptide capable of catalyzing reductive aldol reactions and a cofactor, wherein the polypeptide is an enoyl-CoA carboxylase/reductase (Ecr). The replacement of the native CO2 electrophile in enoyl-CoA carboxylases/reductases (Ecrs) by different carbonyl acceptors advantageously creates a new-to-nature biocatalytic route towards ?-branched ??-hydroxy carbonyl compounds.
