Enzymatic azide synthesis by ATP-dependent synthetase
In a recent issue of Nature Chemistry, Zhang and coworkers showed that the ATP-dependent N-nitrosylase Tri17 can catalyze azide synthesis. Tri17 is a promiscuous enzyme that can catalyze N-nitrosylation of various substrates. When specific substrates were used, it also catalyzed the dehydration of the N-nitroso moiety to synthesize an azide moiety.
