Modification of Gold Zeolitic Supports for Catalytic Oxidation of Glucose to Gluconic Acid.

ABSTRACT: Activity of gold supported catalysts strongly depends on the type and composition of support, which determine the size of Au nanoparticles (Au NPs), gold-support interaction influencing gold properties, interaction with the reactants and, in this way, the reaction pathway. The aim of this study was to use two types of zeolites: the three dimensional HBeta and the layered two-dimensional MCM-36 as supports for gold, and modification of their properties towards the achievement of different properties in oxidation of glucose to gluconic acid with molecular oxygen and hydrogen peroxide. Such an approach allowed establishment of relationships between the activity of gold catalysts and different parameters such as Au NPs size, electronic properties of gold, structure and acidity of the supports. The zeolites were modified with (3-aminopropyl)-trimethoxysilane (APMS), which affected the support features and Au NPs properties. Moreover, the modification of the zeolite lattice with boron was applied to change the strength of the zeolite acidity. All modifications resulted in changes in glucose conversion, while maintaining high selectivity to gluconic acid. The most important findings include the differences in the reaction steps limiting the reaction rate depending on the nature of the oxidant applied (oxygen vs. H₂O₂), the important role of porosity of the zeolite supports, and accumulation of negative charge on Au NPs in catalytic oxidation of glucose.

Purification and immobilization of engineered glucose dehydrogenase: a new approach to producing gluconic acid from breadwaste.

Project description:BackgroundPlatform chemicals are essential to industrial processes. Used as starting materials for the manufacture of diverse products, their cheap availability and efficient sourcing are an industrial requirement. Increasing concerns about the depletion of natural resources and growing environmental consciousness have led to a focus on the economics and ecological viability of bio-based platform chemical production. Contemporary approaches include the use of immobilized enzymes that can be harnessed to produce high-value chemicals from waste.ResultsIn this study, an engineered glucose dehydrogenase (GDH) was optimized for gluconic acid (GA) production. Sulfolobus solfataricus GDH was expressed in Escherichia coli. The K m and V max values for recombinant GDH were calculated as 0.87 mM and 5.91 U/mg, respectively. Recombinant GDH was immobilized on a hierarchically porous silica support (MM-SBA-15) and its activity was compared with GDH immobilized on three commercially available supports. MM-SBA-15 showed significantly higher immobilization efficiency (>?98%) than the commercial supports. After 5 cycles, GDH activity was at least 14% greater than the remaining activity on commercial supports. Glucose in bread waste hydrolysate was converted to GA by free-state and immobilized GDH. After the 10th reuse cycle on MM-SBA-15, a 22% conversion yield was observed, generating 25 gGA/gGDH. The highest GA production efficiency was 47 gGA/gGDH using free-state GDH.ConclusionsThis study demonstrates the feasibility of enzymatically converting BWH to GA: immobilizing GDH on MM-SBA-15 renders the enzyme more stable and permits its multiple reuse.

Contributions of distinct gold species to catalytic reactivity for carbon monoxide oxidation.

Project description:Small-size (<5 nm) gold nanostructures supported on reducible metal oxides have been widely investigated because of the unique catalytic properties they exhibit in diverse redox reactions. However, arguments about the nature of the gold active site have continued for two decades, due to the lack of comparable catalyst systems with specific gold species, as well as the scarcity of direct experimental evidence for the reaction mechanism under realistic working conditions. Here we report the determination of the contribution of single atoms, clusters and particles to the oxidation of carbon monoxide at room temperature, by the aid of in situ X-ray absorption fine structure analysis and in situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy. We find that the metallic gold component in clusters or particles plays a much more critical role as the active site than the cationic single-atom gold species for the room-temperature carbon monoxide oxidation reaction.

Accessing gold p-acid reactivity under electrochemical anode oxidation (EAO) through oxidation relay.

Project description:The gold π-acid activation under electrochemical conditions is achieved. While EAO allows easy access to gold(III) intermediates over alternative chemical oxidation under mild conditions, the reported examples so far are limited to coupling reactions due to the rapid AuIII reductive elimination. Using aryl hydrazine-HOTf salt as precursors, the π-activation reaction mode was realized through oxidation relay. Both alkene and alkyne di-functionalization were achieved with excellent functional group compatibility and regioselectivity, which extended the versatility and utility of electrochemical gold redox chemistry for future applications.

Titanium-Anchored Gold on Silica for Enhanced Catalytic Activity in Aqueous Ethanol Oxidation.

Project description:The heterogeneously catalyzed oxidation of bioethanol offers a promising route to bio-based acetic acid. Here, we assess an alternative method to support gold nanoparticles, which aims to improve selectivity to acetic acid through minimizing over-oxidation to carbon dioxide. The most promising support system is 5 wt % titanium on silica, which combines the high surface area of silica with the stabilizing effect of titania on the gold particles. Compared to gold-silica systems, which require a complex synthesis method, small quantities of titanium promoted the formation of gold nanoparticles during a simple deposition-precipitation. Characterization of the catalyst with X-ray absorption spectroscopy shows that titanium is highly dispersed in the form of small, possibly dimeric, titanium(IV) structures, which are isolated and stabilize gold nanoparticles, possibly minimizing sintering effects during synthesis. The size of the gold particles depends on the pre-treatment of the titanium-silica support before gold deposition, with larger titanium structures hosting larger gold particles. Acetic acid yield over the titanium-silica-supported gold systems improved by about 1.6 times, compared to pure titania-supported gold. The high activity of those catalysts suggests that bulk, crystalline titania is not required for the reaction, encouraging the use of mixed supports to combine their benefits. Those support systems, besides improving selectivity, offer high surface area and a low-cost filler material, which brings ethanol oxidation one step further to the industry. Additionally, the low loading of titanium permits studying the reaction mechanisms on the gold-titanium interface with bulk characterization techniques.

Glucose-6-phosphatase catalytic subunit 2 negatively regulates glucose oxidation and insulin secretion in pancreatic β-cells.

Project description:Elevated fasting blood glucose (FBG) is associated with increased risks of developing type 2 diabetes (T2D) and cardiovascular-associated mortality. G6PC2 is predominantly expressed in islets, encodes a glucose-6-phosphatase catalytic subunit that converts glucose-6-phosphate (G6P) to glucose, and has been linked with variations in FBG in genome-wide association studies. Deletion of G6pc2 in mice has been shown to lower FBG without affecting fasting plasma insulin levels in vivo. At 5 mM glucose, pancreatic islets from G6pc2 knockout (KO) mice exhibit no glucose cycling, increased glycolytic flux, and enhanced glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS). However, the broader effects of G6pc2 KO on β-cell metabolism and redox regulation are unknown. Here we used CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing and metabolic flux analysis in βTC3 cells, a murine pancreatic β-cell line, to examine the role of G6pc2 in regulating glycolytic and mitochondrial fluxes. We found that deletion of G6pc2 led to ∼60% increases in glycolytic and citric acid cycle (CAC) fluxes at both 5 and 11 mM glucose concentrations. Furthermore, intracellular insulin content and GSIS were enhanced by approximately two-fold, along with increased cytosolic redox potential and reductive carboxylation flux. Normalization of fluxes relative to net glucose uptake revealed upregulation in two NADPH-producing pathways in the CAC. These results demonstrate that G6pc2 regulates GSIS by modulating not only glycolysis but also, independently, citric acid cycle activity in β-cells. Overall, our findings implicate G6PC2 as a potential therapeutic target for enhancing insulin secretion and lowering FBG, which could benefit individuals with prediabetes, T2D, and obesity.

We report an in situ 3D imaging study of defect dynamics of a single gold nanocrystal. Our findings offer an insight into its dynamic nanostructure and unravel the formation of a nanotwin network under CO oxidation conditions. In situ/operando defect dynamics imaging paves the way to elucidate chemical processes at the single nano-object level towards defect-engineered nanomaterials.

Ultrasensitive analyses of zearalenone in grain samples with a catalytic oxidation platform involving gold nanomaterials.

Project description:Zearalenone (ZEN) contamination in cereals poses a serious threat to human and animal health, yet existing rapid test methods still suffer from poor stability and low sensitivity. The studied sensor reduces inspection time while enabling applications for on-site grain inspection. Specifically, a ZEN detector that can sensitively detect ZEN content in grains was developed. Ion implantation is an effective method for modifying screen-printed electrodes (SPEs). Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs; 5-10 nm) were uniformly implanted using screen-printed electrodes as a catalytic oxidation medium to generate an electrochemical sensor. The surface structure of the modified electrode was characterized using scanning electron microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The results showed that differential pulse voltammetry had good linear electrochemical response to ZEN at 10 ng/kg to 10 mg/kg, with a detection limit of 1.1 ng/kg. We used AuNP-SPE sensors to detect ZEN in grain samples such as maize and oats.

A nonenzymatic acid/peracid catalytic cycle for the Baeyer-Villiger oxidation.

Project description:The combined action of carbodiimide and hydrogen peroxide upon exposure to carboxylic acid catalysts serves to generate transient peracids that can be engaged in the Baeyer-Villiger rearrangement of ketones to lactones. Up to 35 turnovers of the catalytic cycle may be achieved. The conditions are especially useful in the context of reactive cyclohexanones, and allow the use of H2O2 as the terminal oxidant. A singular example of a chiral catalyst demonstrates, in principle, that enantioselective catalysis will be possible with this strategy for catalyst turnover.

Partial catalytic Cys oxidation of human GAPDH to Cys-sulfonic acid.

Project description:Background: n-Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) catalyses the NAD +-dependent oxidative phosphorylation of n-glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate to 1,3-diphospho-n-glycerate and its reverse reaction in glycolysis and gluconeogenesis. Methods: Four distinct crystal structures of human n-Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase ( HsGAPDH) have been determined from protein purified from the supernatant of HEK293F human epithelial kidney cells. Results: X-ray crystallography and mass-spectrometry indicate that the catalytic cysteine of the protein ( HsGAPDH Cys152) is partially oxidised to cysteine S-sulfonic acid. The average occupancy for the Cys152-S-sulfonic acid modification over the 20 crystallographically independent copies of HsGAPDH across three of the crystal forms obtained is 0.31±0.17. Conclusions: The modification induces no significant structural changes on the tetrameric enzyme, and only makes aspecific contacts to surface residues in the active site, in keeping with the hypothesis that the oxidising conditions of the secreted mammalian cell expression system result in HsGAPDH catalytic cysteine S-sulfonic acid modification and irreversible inactivation of the enzyme.

Gold Nanoparticle-Decorated Diatom Biosilica: A Favorable Catalyst for the Oxidation of d-Glucose.

Project description:Diatoms are unicellular algae of enormous biodiversity that occur in all water habitats on earth. Their cell walls are composed of amorphous biosilica and exhibit species-specific nanoporous to microporous and macroporous patterning. Therefore, diatom biosilica is a promising renewable material for various applications, such as in catalysis, drug-delivery systems, and biophotonics. In this study, diatom biosilica of three different species (Stephanopyxis turris, Eucampia zodiacus, and Thalassiosira pseudonana) was used as support material for gold nanoparticles using a covalent coupling method. The resulting catalysts were applied for the oxidation of d-glucose to d-gluconic acid. Because of its high specific surface area, well-established transport pores, and the presence of small, homogeneously distributed gold nanoparticles on the surface, diatom biosilica provides a highly catalytically active surface and advanced accessibility to the active sites. In comparison to those of the used reference supports, higher catalytic activities (up to 3.28 × 10-4 mmolGlc s-1 mgAu -1 for T. pseudonana biosilica) and slower deactivation were observed for two of the diatom biosilica materials. In addition, diatom biosilica showed very high gold-loading capacities (up to 45 wt %), with a homogeneous nanoparticle distribution.
