“…The lack of clear structural basis for improved activities can be aided with MD analysis. Liu et al 47 performed virtual screening with computational binding affinity predictions and MD analysis of binding pose stability to select mutant P450-BM3 using NMNH. Their pipeline led to identification of P450-BM3 S848R with ~2-fold increase in NMNH activity over the wild type.…”

Noncanonical cofactor biomimetics (NCBs) such as nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN+) provide enhanced scalability for biomanufacturing. However, engineering enzymes to accept NCBs is difficult. Here, we establish a growth selection platform to evolve enzymes to utilize NMN+-based reducing power. This is based on an orthogonal, NMN+-dependent glycolytic pathway in Escherichia coli which can be coupled to any reciprocal enzyme to recycle the ensuing reduced NMN+. With a throughput of >106 variants per iteration, the growth selection discovers a Lactobacillus pentosus NADH oxidase variant with ~10-fold increase in NMNH catalytic efficiency and enhanced activity for other NCBs. Molecular modeling and experimental validation suggest that instead of directly contacting NCBs, the mutations optimize the enzyme’s global conformational dynamics to resemble the WT with the native cofactor bound. Restoring the enzyme’s access to catalytically competent conformation states via deep navigation of protein sequence space with high-throughput evolution provides a universal route to engineer NCB-dependent enzymes.

“…The specific activity of aMOx and mutants was determined by evaluating the consumption of NADPH ( Liu et al, 2021 ). The Bradford (1976) method was used to determine the protein concentration using a Bradford protein quantification kit (YEASEN Biotechnology Co., Ltd., Shanghai, China).…”

Aromatic aldehydes are important industrial raw materials mainly synthesized by anti-Markovnikov (AM) oxidation of corresponding aromatic olefins. The AM product selectivity remains a big challenge. P450 aMOx is the first reported enzyme that could catalyze AM oxidation of aromatic olefins. Here, we reported a rational design strategy based on the “butterfly” model of the active site of P450 aMOx. Constrained molecular dynamic simulations and a binding energy analysis of key residuals combined with an experimental alanine scan were applied. As a result, the mutant A275G showed high AM selectivity of >99%. The results also proved that the “butterfly” model is an effective design strategy for enzymes.
