A recyclable glutamate amine donor system employing transaminase (TA), glutamate dehydrogenase (GluDH) and mutant formate dehydrogenase (FDHm) was developed, wherein amine donor Glu was regenerated using GluDH and thereby circumvented the inhibition of TA by α-ketoglutarate. Various enantiopure β-, γ-amino acids, and amines were successfully synthesized with high conversions and excellent enantiomeric excess using this system.

Enzymes of the class I lyase-like family catalyze the asymmetric addition of ammonia to arylacrylates, yielding high value amino acids as products. Recent examples include the use of phenylalanine ammonia lyases (PALs), either alone or as a gateway to deracemization cascades (giving (S)- or (R)-α-phenylalanine derivatives, respectively), and also eukaryotic phenylalanine aminomutases (PAMs) for the synthesis of the (R)-β-products. Herein, we present the investigation of another family member, EncP from Streptomyces maritimus, thereby expanding the biocatalytic toolbox and enabling the production of the missing (S)-β-isomer. EncP was found to convert a range of arylacrylates to a mixture of (S)-α- and (S)-β-arylalanines, with regioselectivity correlating to the strength of electron-withdrawing/-donating groups on the ring of each substrate. The low regioselectivity of the wild-type enzyme was addressed via structure-based rational design to generate three variants with altered preference for either α- or β-products. By examining various biocatalyst/substrate combinations, it was demonstrated that the amination pattern of the reaction could be tuned to achieve selectivities between 99:1 and 1:99 for β:α-product ratios as desired.

The conjugate addition of lithium (R)-N-benzyl-N-(α-methylbenzyl) amide to a range of β-fluoroaryl-α,β-unsaturated esters gave the corresponding β-amino esters with high diastereoselectivity and in good isolated yields. Sequential treatment of the resulta
