Since the discovery of Hofmann–Löffler–Freytag reaction more than 130 years ago, both the structure and reactivity of nitrogen-centred radicals have been widely studied. Nevertheless, catalytic enantioselective intermolecular radical hydroamination remains a challenge due to the existence of side reactions, the short lifetime of nitrogen-centred radicals and lack of understanding of the fundamental catalytic steps. In the laboratory, nitrogen-centred radicals are produced with radical initiators, photocatalysts or electrocatalysts. In contrast, their generation and reaction are unknown in nature. Here we report a pure biocatalytic system for the photoenzymatic production of nitrogen-centred radicals and enantioselective intermolecular radical hydroaminations by successfully repurposing an ene-reductase through directed evolution. These reactions progress efficiently at room temperature under visible light without any external photocatalysts and exhibit excellent enantioselectivities. A detailed mechanistic study reveals that the enantioselectivity originates from the radical-addition step while the reactivity originates from the ultrafast photoinduced electron transfer from reduced flavin mononucleotide to nitrogen-containing substrates.

Engineered Saccharomyces cerevisiae expressing a lactic acid dehydrogenase can metabolize pyruvate into lactic acid. However, three pyruvate decarboxylase (PDC) isozymes drive most carbon flux toward ethanol rather than lactic acid. Deletion of endogenous PDCs will eliminate ethanol production, but the resulting strain suffers from C2 auxotrophy and struggles to complete a fermentation. Engineered yeast assimilating xylose or cellobiose produce lactic acid rather than ethanol as a major product without the deletion of any PDC genes. We report here that sugar flux, but not sensing, contributes to the partition of flux at the pyruvate branch point in S. cerevisiae expressing the Rhizopus oryzae lactic acid dehydrogenase (LdhA). While the membrane glucose sensors Snf3 and Rgt2 did not play any direct role in the option of predominant product, the sugar assimilation rate was strongly correlated to the partition of flux at pyruvate: fast sugar assimilation favors ethanol production while slow sugar assimilation favors lactic acid. Applying this knowledge, we created an engineered yeast capable of simultaneously converting glucose and xylose into lactic acid, increasing lactic acid production to approximately 17 g L−1 from the 12 g L−1 observed during sequential consumption of sugars. This work elucidates the carbon source-dependent effects on product selection in engineered yeast.

Data was generated from a field and lab study to determine the influence of thermal variation in livewells on largemouth bass recovery from angling tournaments. The field study data includes temperature data from inside angler livewells during a tournament day. This was collected across four tournaments. The laboratory data was generated from a series of experiments simulating tournament practices and trends in thermal variation within livewells observed in the field proponent. Following simulation, blood was collected to determine levels of analytes consistent with primary, secondary, and tertiary stress response in largemouth bass. Reflex impairment was also included.

Femoral skeletal traits (cross-sectional properties, maximum distal metaphyseal breadth of the femur, and maximum superior/inferior femoral head diameter) of 219 Taiwanese subadult individuals (aged 0 to 17) as used in the manuscript "Allometric scaling and growth: evaluation and applications in subadult body mass estimation."

This data set documents bat activity (counts per detector-night per phonic group) and bat diversity (number of bat species per detector-night) in relation to distance to the nearest forested corridor in a row crop agriculture dominated landscape and in relation to relative crop pest abundance. This data set was used to assess if bats were homogeneously distributed over a near-uninterrupted agricultural landscape and to assess the importance of forested corridors and the presence of pest species on their distribution across the landscape. Data was collected with 50 AudioMoth bat detectors along 10 transects, with each transect having 5 detectors. The transects started at a forest corridor and extended out for 4 km into uninterrupted row crop agriculture. Pest abundance was extrapolated from data collected in the same county during the same time as the study. Potentially important weather covariates were extracted from the nearest operational weather station.

Exploiting nature’s catalysts for non-natural transformations that are inaccessible to chemocatalysis is highly desirable but challenging. On the one hand, the widespread nicotinamide-dependent oxidoreductases have not been utilized for single-electron-transfer-induced bimolecular cross-couplings; on the other, the addition of catalytic asymmetric radical conjugate to terminal alkenes remains a challenge owing to strong racemic background reaction and unselective termination of prochiral radical species. Here we report a chemomimetic biocatalysitic approach for construction of alpha-carbonyl stereocentres via an unnatural intermolecular conjugate addition of N-(acyloxy)phthalimides-derived radicals with acceptor-substituted terminal alkenes, by combination of visible-light excitation and nicotinamide-dependent ketoreductases (KREDs). Based on protein crystal structure, we engineered KREDs via a semi-rational mutagenesis strategy to improve reaction outcomes with a small and high-quality variants library. Mechanistic investigations combining wet experiments, crystallographic studies and computational simulations demonstrate that the repurposed biocatalyst can suppress racemic background reaction and unselected side reactions, yielding enantioselectivity that is challenging to achieve by chemocatalysis.
