Food proteins like pea, soybean, and wheat can be used as inexpensive, natural biocatalysts for asymmetric synthesis. These immobilized enzymes efficiently produce optically pure compounds under mild conditions, promoting sustainable chemistry.

Area of Science:

  • Biocatalysis
  • Green Chemistry
  • Protein Chemistry

Background:

  • Enzyme immobilization is crucial for catalyst reusability and efficiency.
  • Developing cost-effective and sustainable biocatalysts is a key challenge in organic synthesis.
  • Food proteins offer a potential source of natural enzymes for industrial applications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the isolation and application of NAD(P)+-dependent secondary alcohol dehydrogenase (NAD(P)-E) from plant-based food proteins.
  • To evaluate the enantioselectivity and efficiency of these immobilized enzymes in asymmetric synthesis.
  • To explore the potential of food proteins as sustainable biocatalysts.

Main Methods:

  • Immobilization of pea, soybean, and wheat proteins using calcium alginate gel.

  • Enzymatic oxidation of racemic aryl methyl carbinols to obtain optically active secondary alcohols.

    • Main Results:

    • NAD(P)-E was successfully isolated from immobilized pea, soybean, and wheat proteins.
    • The enzyme exhibited high enantioselectivity, yielding >99% ee(s) for (S)-isomers.
    • A low protein-to-substrate ratio (B/S ≈ 20) was effective, demonstrating catalyst efficiency.

    Conclusions:

    • Immobilized food proteins provide a low-cost, sustainable source of stereoselective biocatalysts.
    • This approach enables environmentally friendly asymmetric synthesis of valuable organic compounds.
    • The "fourth" function of food proteins as biocatalysts contributes to a sustainable society.
