| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, the active site of the hyperthermophilic enzyme is used as "a heat resistant chiral space". We designed a compound which was not originally a substrate of the enzyme, but was binded to the active site. We aimed to achieve a variety of thermally driven asymmetric reactions using a heat resistant chiral space.
Arylmethylmalonic acid monoester was selected as a substrate, and the mutant esterase to which the hydrolyzing activity disappeared was used. Under high temperature conditions, the aimed ester was obtained, and the optical purity was also high. In addition, it was confirmed that the asymmetric decarboxylation occurred when this mutant was act on prochiral arylmechylmalonic acid. We have been succeeded in developing thermally driven asymmetric reactions.
