Ionic liquid modified GC electrode for the direct electrochemistry of chloroperoxidase

Chloropcroxidase （CPO） was immobilized by konjac glucomannan （KGM） on the 1-butyl-3-methyl imidazolium tetrafluoroborate [BMIM][BF4]/Nafion modified glassy carbon eloctrode. The electrochemical behaviors of the immobilized CPO were investigated by cyclic voltammetry. The results showed that CPO was successfully immobilized on the GCE and underwent fast direct electron transfer reactions with the formal potential at -0.3 V vs. SCE. The modified electrode showed a good catalytic activity for elcctrocatalytical reduction of O2 and H2O2.

Electrochemical studies of chloroperoxidase on poly-L-lysine film modified GC electrode

Poly-L-lysine(PLL) was first electrodeposited onto the surface of a glassy carbon(GC) electrode.The PLL modified electrode was used to immobilize chloroperoxidase(CPO) via 1-[(3-dimethylamino)propyl]-3-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride(EDC).The electrochemical behaviors of immobilized CPO on PLL/GC electrode were investigated by cyclic voltammetry(CV).The CV results obtained showed that CPO was successfully immobilized on the PLL/GC electrode and a fast direct electron transfer between CPO and PLL-GC electrod...

Recent progress in enzymatic functionalization of carbon-hydrogen bonds for the green synthesis of chemicals

Enzymatic reactions take place with high chemo-, regio-, and stereo-selectivity, appealing for the direct functionalization of abundant and inexpensive compounds with C-H bonds to make fine chemicals such as high-value intermediates and pharmaceuticals. This review summarizes recent progress in the enzymatic functionalization of C-H bonds with an emphasis on heme enzymes such as cytochrome P450 s, chloroperoxidase and unspecific peroxygenases. Specific examples are discussed to elucidate the applications of the molecular and process engineering approaches to overcome the challenges hindering enzymatic C-H functionalization. Also discussed is the recent development of the chemo-enzymatic cascade as an effective way to integrate the power of metal catalysis and enzymatic catalysis for C-H functionalization.

The chiral epoxidation of styrene and its derivatives is an important transformation that has attracted considerable scientific interest in the chemical industry.Herein,we integrate enzymatic catalysis and electrocatalysis to propose a new route for the chiral epoxidation of styrene and its derivatives.Chloroperoxidase(CPO)functionalized with 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide(ILEMB)was loaded onto cobalt nitrogen-doped carbon nanotubes(CoN@CNT)to form a biohybrid(CPO-ILEMB/CoN@CNT).H_(2)O_(2)species were generated in situ through a two-electron oxygen reduction reaction(2e–ORR)at CoN@CNT to initiate the following enzymatic epoxidation of styrene by CPO.CoN@CNT had high electroactivity for the ORR to produce H_(2)O_(2)at a more positive potential,prohibiting the conversion of FeⅢ to FeⅡ in the heme of CPO to maintain enzymatic activity.Meanwhile,CoN@CNT could serve as an ideal carrier for the immobilization of CPO-ILEMB.Hence,the coimmobilization of CPO-ILEMB and CoN@CNT could facilitate the diffusion of intermediate H_(2)O_(2),which achieved 17 times higher efficiency than the equivalent amounts of free CPO-ILEMB in bulk solution for styrene epoxidation.Notably,an enhancement(~45%)of chiral selectivity for the epoxidation of styrene was achieved.
