    Abstract We propose the first computational model for transketolase (TK), a thiamine diphosphate (ThDP)-dependent enzyme, using a quantum mechanical/molecular mechanical method on the basis of crystallographic TK structures from yeast and Escherichia coli, together with experimental kinetic data reported in the literature with wild-type and mutant TK. This model allowed us to define a new route for ThDP activation in the enzyme environment. We evidenced a strong interaction between ThDP and Glu418B of the TK active site, itself stabilized by Glu162A. The crucial point highlighted here is that deprotonation of ThDP C2 is not performed by ThDP N4' as reported in the literature, but by His481B, involving a HOH688A molecule bridge. Thus, ThDP N4' is converted from an amino form to an iminium form, ensuring the stabilization of the C2 carbanion or carbene. Finally, ThDP activation proceeds via an intermolecular process and not by an intramolecular one as reported in the literature. More generally, this proposed ThDP activation mechanism can be applied to some other ThDP-dependent enzymes and used to define the entire TK mechanism with donor and acceptor substrates more accurately.

    Abstract 5-O-Coumarinyl-d-xylulose was studied as a fluorogenic substrate for the stereospecific assay of transketolase enzyme. Enzymatic C2-C3 cleavage released an alpha-hydroxyl, beta-coumarinyl substituted aldehyde. Although the subsequent beta-elimination step was rate limiting under chemical or enzymatic catalysis, we detected a TK activity as low as 0.7mIU. To improve the fluorescence signal release, kinetic and product distribution analyses of this reaction were performed by LC/UV/MS coupling.

    Abstract Synthetic building blocks bearing hydroxylated chiral centers are important targets for biocatalysis. Many C-C bond forming enzymes have recently been investigated for new applications and new strategies towards the synthesis of natural products and related oxygenated compounds. Several old catalysts have been studied to increase our functional knowledge of natural aldolase-type enzymes, and new mutated catalysts or catalytic antibodies have been tested for their synthetic utility.

    Abstract This paper describes an innovative amperometric biosensor for the in vitro determination of activity of transketolase from Escherichia coli (TKec) using commercially available TK substrates, namely d-fructose-6-phosphate a physiological donor and glycolaldehyde the best non-phosphorylated acceptor. A galactose oxidase (GAOx) biosensor, based on the immobilization of this enzyme within laponite clay, allows amperometric detection of L-erythrulose released upon TK-catalyzed reaction. A calibration curve has been established from 0.01 to 0.1 U ml(-1) TKec concentration in solution. These data are comparable to that obtained by a fluorometric method. In order to ensure a higher sensitivity and re-usability of the system, an original bienzymatic sensing system was further developed based on apoenzyme TKec and GAOx separately immobilized on the electrode surface. The inner sensing layer contains GAOx@laponite and the outer layer TKec@layered double hydroxide biohybrid. The biosensor response was validated by the determination of KD(app) for thiamine diphosphate, the TK cofactor and the inhibition action of two commercially available products, pyrophosphate, a TK cofactor analog and d-arabinose-5-phosphate, a substrate analog.

    Abstract A green enzymatic strategy for the synthesis of terminally phosphorylated C5 to C9 naturally occurring d-ketose phosphates and analogues was developed using d-fructose-6-phosphate aldolase (FSA) as a catalyst. This enzyme has stereoselectively catalysed aldol reactions between glycolaldehyde phosphate or ribose-5-phosphate as an acceptor substrate and dihydroxyacetone, hydroxyacetone or hydroxybutanone as a donor. Furthermore, d-glycero-d-altro-2-octulose 8-phosphate was obtained using a straightforward one-pot domino biocatalytic system involving FSA, ribulose-5-phosphate epimerase and ribose-5-phosphate isomerase controlling five contiguous asymmetric centres and starting from achiral material.

    Abstract Immobilization of TK from Escherichia coli (TKec) on MgAl-NO3 layered double hydroxides (LDH) was carried out by two processes: adsorption and coprecipitation. As a comparison, the adsorption method was realized either at pH 7.5 in buffered solutions (MOPS and Gly-Gly) or in pure water. For the coprecipitation method, the formation of the inorganic LDH support was realized directly in the presence of TKec solubilized in Gly-Gly. The prepared biohybrids, called respectively TKec@LDHads and TKec@LDHcop, were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction, FTIR spectroscopy in comparison with TKec free reference products, i.e. MgAl-NO3, MgAl-Gly-Gly. The enzymatic activities of the various TKec@LDH biohybrids as well as their stabilities over time were investigated by UV-vis assay. A maximum of activity (12 U/mg of solid) was reached for TKec@MgAl-Gly-Gly biohybrid prepared by coprecipitation. Finally, thin films were prepared through a one-step deposition on a polished support. The enzymatic activity of the resulting TKec@MgAl-Gly-Glycop film was tested over four recycling processes with a reproducible activity of 2.7 U/mg cm(2).
