Enzyme Mimics (Artificial Enzymes)
• Reproduce the enzyme’s function• Mimic a chemical reaction
– Chemical transformation (covalent bonds)
&/or• Molecular recognition
– Mimic binding (H-bonding, hydrophobic, ionic, etc)
• We have already seen two biomimetic catalytic systems:– Organocatalysis with proline– Koga’s crown ethers

• Things to consider:– Needs to be an initial binding step– Size: important for binding & release of product– To be truly catalytic, there needs to be turnover
• Several examples of mimics found in research and industry:– We will look at:
• Cyclodextrins• Cryptands• Catalytic antibodies

Cyclodextrins
• 6 (), 7 (), or 8 () glucose units
• Hydrophobic cavity• Stable & water soluble• Tunable (modify to
change properties)• Several examples of its
use for biomimetic catalysis:– Condensation rxns– Redox chemistry– etc
-cyclodextrin

• Research on cyclodextrin started in the 1930’s– Very expensive & thought to be toxic
• 1970’s → non-toxic, but still $2000/kg• Now → cheap! → 1000 tons/y• Several industrial applications
– Self-tanning lotions, laundry drier sheets, flavorings, etc.– Produced by environmentally-friendly technologies & renewable
materials • Starch → cyclodextrin (action of CTGase)

Mimic of Ribonuclease A
• Hydrolyses RNA using two His residues for acid/base catalysis (no general agreement on how)
• Mimic the Rib A system by attaching imidazole groups on cyclodextrin

• Can use similar chemistry to a condensation reaction:

An Artificial Transaminase
• Recall transamination of AAs with pyridoxal phosphate (PLP)
• Use cyclodextrin to perform the same chemistry with a covalent linkage to a PLP derivative

Other Coenzyme mimics
Benzoin condensation with thiazolium ion mimic (recall exp. 7, dilantin synthesis):
(note the use of a cyclodextrin)

Cryptands
• Cryptands are multi-dendate ligands that bind cations (“buried”)– Similar to a crown ether, but usually more selective and they
exhibit stronger binding– Nobel Prize 1987

Catalytic Antibodies
• Exploit the excellent binding abilities that antibodies possess– Molecular recognition
• Construct a transition state analogue → screen for antibodies against this molecule

• Catalytic antibodies are good for simple reactions, but are limited by:– Accuracy → transition state analogue– Screening
• Applications: detoxification of cocaine
