This has led to a need for effective cyclization strategies for compound synthesis and hence increased interest in macrocyclization mediated by thioesterase (TE) domains, which naturally boost the chemical diversity and bioactivities of cyclic natural products. Many non-ribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS) and polyketide synthase (PKS) derived natural products are assembled to form cyclodimeric compounds, with these molecules possessing diverse structures and biological activities. There is significant interest in identifying the biosynthetic pathways that produce such molecules given the challenge that cyclodimerization represents from a biosynthetic perspective. In the last decade, many groups have pursued the characterization of TE domains and have provided new insights into this biocatalytic machinery: however, the enzymes involved in formation of cyclodimeric compounds have proven far more elusive. In this review we focus on natural products that involve macrocyclization in their biosynthesis and chemical synthesis, with an emphasis on the function and biosynthetic investigation on the special family of TE domains responsible for forming cyclodimeric natural products. We also introduce additional macrocyclization catalysts, including butelase and the C<small><sub>T</sub></small>-mediated cyclization of peptides, alongside the formation of cyclodipeptides mediated by cyclodipeptide synthases (CDPS) and single-module NRPSs. Due to the interdisciplinary nature of biosynthetic research, we anticipate that this review will prove valuable to synthetic chemists, drug discovery groups, enzymologists, and the biosynthetic community in general, and inspire further efforts to identify and exploit these biocatalysts for the formation of novel bioactive molecules.","PeriodicalId":68,"journal":{"name":"Chemical Society Reviews","volume":"232 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":46.2,"publicationDate":"2024-11-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142696996","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Phe can spontaneously self-assemble into fibrils with amyloid-like properties linked to the neurological disorder phenylketonuria (PKU). Apart from its pathological implications, Phe also displays complex phase behavior and can undergo structural changes in response to external stimuli. Its ability to co-assemble with other amino acids opens up new possibilities for studying biomolecular interactions. Furthermore, Phe's coordination with metal ions has led to the development of enzyme-mimicking catalytic systems for applications in organic chemistry, environmental monitoring, and healthcare. Research on <small>L</small> and <small>D</small> enantiomers of Phe, particularly on bio-MOFs, has highlighted their potential in advanced technologies, including bioelectronic devices. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the advancements in Phe-based supramolecular assemblies, emphasizing their interdisciplinary relevance. The Phe assemblies show great potential for future therapeutic and functional biomaterial developments, from disease treatments to innovations in bionanozymes and bioelectronics.

Not only can RCC processes generate valuable byproducts that can reduce the cost of carbon capture, but RCC tends to have lower energy demand than processes involving the transfer of CO<small><sub>2</sub></small> between the mediums used for capture and subsequent reactions. Saline water has been proposed as a potential medium for RCC due to it's relative abundance and low cost. Additionally, the composition and chemistry of many saline water sources: (1) elevates the CO<small><sub>2</sub></small> content (as compared to atmospheric concentrations), (2) provides various cations that can form valuable products with CO<small><sub>2</sub></small>, and (3) enhances the kinetics of chemical reactions used to convert CO<small><sub>2</sub></small> to stable byproducts. In addition to established industrial processes for converting CO<small><sub>2</sub></small> into inert or valuable byproducts, we found 20 new processes and technologies that have been developed specifically to capture and convert CO<small><sub>2</sub></small> using saline water. Both preexisting and emerging processes can be broadly classified as electrochemical or chemical titration processes. When assessing the potential viability of applying any of these processes for large scale carbon capture, several factors must be considered, such as the net carbon footprint of the process, the market size, location of customers and value of the end product, the energy demand and chemical costs of the process, and any other environmental impacts. The feasability of many emerging saline-based RCC processes is difficult to determine, as many technologies were tested using synthetic saline waters and/or concentrated CO<small><sub>2</sub></small> sources. Notwithstanding the early stage of development of many saline-based RCC technologies, the major limitation to implementation of this approach to carbon capture is the mismatch in the scale of the markets for products of saline-based RCC and the scale of carbon capture needed to meet climate goals. However, because the products of many of the processes reviewed here are stable and non-hazardous, these technologies may also be used for carbon sequestration efforts where the products are managed as waste, in which case the carbon capture potential of these technologies can surpass the market-imposed limitations on RCC. Thus, the potential benefits of saline water-based RCC identified in this review encourage further study and development of these technologies.","PeriodicalId":68,"journal":{"name":"Chemical Society Reviews","volume":"35 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":46.2,"publicationDate":"2024-11-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142685008","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
