生物合成高能化学物质

Biosynthesis of High-Energy Chemicals

从分子到细胞,从个体到社会,能量的需求和转化无处不在。探索高能物质的合成与利用,具有较重要的科学意义和应用价值。目前高能物质的化学合成通常污染较大、耗能较高,且往往副产物较多,难以分离纯化。相较于传统的化学合成方法,生物合成具有绿色环保和高效利用清洁能源等特点,是符合国家“碳中和”目标的新型合成路径。高能物质的生物合成,将是未来的迅速发展方向之一。本文将从能源物质、含能材料和天然高能物质三个方面,选取四种代表性高能物质,介绍其生物合成途径及与之相关的关键金属酶。

From molecules to cells,the energy demand is ubiquitous in our society.Synthesis and utilization of highenergy chemicals is a major challenge scientifically and economically.The current chemical synthesis of high-energy compounds often generates pollution and consumes a lot of energy.With the existence of by-products,it’s hard to separate target products.Compared to chemical synthesis,biosynthesis is considered environmentally friendly and cost-effective energy,and is in accord with the Carbon Neutralization goal.Biosynthesis of high-energy chemicals is one of the fastest growing fields.This article will choose 4 chemicals,in terms of energy source,energetic materials and bio-high-energy compounds,to briefly introduce the correspondent biosynthesis pathway and key metalloenzyme.
