Nature Catalysis (2020): “A strategic Ser/Cys exchange in the catalytic triad unlocks an acyltransferase mediated synthesis of thioesters and tertiary amides”
Martina did it again! Working together with David, they looked at how the acyltransferases we have worked with before could become an even more efficient catalyst. Find the paper here or you can access a read only version here. Related Posts
J Flow Chem (2020): “Aromas flow: eco-friendly, continuous, and scalable preparation of flavour esters”
In this manuscript, the core idea of Martina’s Marie Curie project has been captured in its essence with the design of a highly sustainable strategy for the preparation of natural flavour esters, using exclusively reagents found in nature. The precious collaboration with Prof. Molinari and Prof. Tamborini (co-corresponding author) has been key for the optimisation […]
Green Chemistry (2019): “Flow-based enzymatic synthesis of melatonin and other high value tryptamine derivatives: a five-minute intensified process”
To increase the uptake of biocatalytic processes by industry, it is essential to demonstrate the reliability of enzyme-based methodologies directly applied to the production of high value products. Here, an ultra-efficient, and sustainable enzymatic platform for the multi-gram synthesis of melatonin (and analogues) was developed. The fully-automated process integrates biocatalysis and flow chemistry, maximizes the […]
