摘要

A bifunctional activity label (8) for directed molecular evolution of lipolytic enzymes has been designed and synthesized. The structure is composed of a 4-nitrophenyl activated phosphonate, that is, a suicide substrate of lipases/esterases, connected to a biotin moiety through a spacer containing a disulfide bridge. The phosphonate (3) was prepared by Michaelis-Arbuzov reaction of trimethylsilyl-protected 11-bromoundecanol (2) with triethyl phosphite. The deprotected omega-hydroxyalkylphosphonate (4) was transformed into an active N-hydroxysuccinimide carbonate (5) followed by 4-nitrophenyl activation of the phosphonate using standard procedures. The biotinylated phosphonate inhibitor (8) was then synthesised by coupling the phosphonate inhibitor (6) to the epsilon-amino-caproic acid and cystamine containing biotinyl spacer (7). The function of all relevant groups of the final activity label (8) (biotin-label, cleavable disulfide bridge, phosphonate-inhibitor) have been successfully tested with the commercial lipase Lipolase (Novo Nordisk). Hence, a tool for directed molecular evolution of lipolytic enzymes has been developed.
