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)
ATIM-I245A (AIA)
The libraries – selection of good targets

The libraries – creating the experimental space
Marinus G. Casteleijn10-11 February, HelsinkiKETJU meeting
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:
