Sridhar S, Kiema T, Schmitz W, Widersten M, Wierenga R
FEBS Open Bio . 2024 Mar; 14(4):655-674. PMID: 38458818
Multifunctional enzyme, type-1 (MFE1) catalyzes the second and third step of the β-oxidation cycle, being, respectively, the 2E-enoyl-CoA hydratase (ECH) reaction (N-terminal part, crotonase fold) and the NAD-dependent, 3S-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase...

Sridhar S, Zavarise A, Kiema T, Dalwani S, Eriksson T, Hajee Y, et al.
IUCrJ . 2023 Jun; 10(Pt 4):437-447. PMID: 37261425
The Fe-dependent E. coli enzyme FucO catalyzes the reversible interconversion of short-chain (S)-lactaldehyde and (S)-1,2-propanediol, using NADH and NAD as cofactors, respectively. Laboratory-directed evolution experiments have been carried out previously...

Zavarise A, Sridhar S, Kiema T, Wierenga R, Widersten M
FEBS J . 2022 Aug; 290(2):465-481. PMID: 36002154
A group-III iron containing 1,2-propanediol oxidoreductase, FucO, (also known as lactaldehyde reductase) from Escherichia coli was examined regarding its structure-dynamics-function relationships in the catalysis of the NADH-dependent reduction of (2S)-lactaldehyde....

van der Ent F, Lund B, Svalberg L, Purg M, Chukwu G, Widersten M, et al.
Biochemistry . 2022 May; 61(10):933-942. PMID: 35503728
The structural origin of enzyme cold-adaptation has been the subject of considerable research efforts in recent years. Comparative studies of orthologous mesophilic-psychrophilic enzyme pairs found in nature are an obvious...

Widersten M
Methods Enzymol . 2020 Sep; 644:149-167. PMID: 32943143
Formation of carbon-carbon bonds is central to synthetic chemistry. The aldol reaction provides the chemistry to fuse a nucleophilic enolate with an electrophilic aldehyde to form a new CC bond...

Al-Smadi D, Reddy Enugala T, Kessler V, Mhashal A, Kamerlin S, Kihlberg J, et al.
J Org Chem . 2019 May; 84(11):6982-6991. PMID: 31066559
Polyhydroxylated compounds are building blocks for the synthesis of carbohydrates and other natural products. Their synthesis is mainly achieved by different synthetic versions of aldol-coupling reactions, catalyzed either by organocatalysts,...
