Abstract

We herein report a design of artificial enzymes by incorporating a synthetic copper complex into noncatalytic bovine serum albumin (Cu-BSA) to carry out stereoselective oxidation. This Cu-BSA catalyst with stably bound Cu complex as a cofactor shows peroxidase-like activity to catalyze epoxidation of styrene with high chiral selectivity (>99%) to R-styrene epoxide. With the electrochemical conversion of Cu²⁺ to Cu⁺, Cu-BSA also exhibits oxidase-like activity to selectively reduce oxygen to hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂), which can be combined with its peroxidase function to drive oxidation of C═C bonds using air. This artificial enzymatic system holds promise for chiral-selective transformations of non-natural substances and highlights the versatility of noncatalytic proteins in the design of artificial enzymes.

具有过氧化物酶和氧化酶活性的铜-白蛋白人工酶，用于立体选择性氧化反应

我们在此报告了一种人工酶的设计方法，即在无催化作用的牛血清白蛋白（Cu-BSA）中加入合成铜复合物，以进行立体选择性氧化。这种以稳定结合的铜络合物为辅助因子的 Cu-BSA 催化剂具有类似过氧化物酶的活性，可催化苯乙烯的环氧化反应，并以高手性选择性（99%）生成 R-苯乙烯环氧化物。随着 Cu2+ 向 Cu+ 的电化学转化，Cu-BSA 还表现出类似氧化酶的活性，可选择性地将氧气还原成过氧化氢（H2O2），这种活性可与其过氧化物酶功能相结合，利用空气推动 C═C 键的氧化。这种人工酶系统有望用于非天然物质的手性选择性转化，并凸显了非催化蛋白质在人工酶设计中的多功能性。
