8:15 CASE STUDY Effective Strategies <strong>for</strong> Protein<br />
Engineering and Economical Large Scale<br />
Protein Production<br />
Protein engineering and directed evolution have proven<br />
effective techniques to produce enzymes with improved<br />
properties. In order to fully utilize these products, they must be produced in<br />
volumes (metric ton quantities), and at price points that are radically different<br />
from current pharmaceutical protein production volumes and economics.<br />
This requires a radically different approach to protein production.<br />
David Estell, Ph.D., Research Fellow, DuPont<br />
9:00 UNPUBLISHED DATA Design and Evolution:<br />
Creating New <strong>Enzyme</strong>s<br />
Biology offers elegant solutions to problems that range from<br />
producing fuels and chemicals from sunlight and carbon<br />
dioxide to combatting disease. Although biology has a large<br />
repertoire of catalytic functions, it does not include many that chemists<br />
have invented and developed in other contexts. This presentation describes<br />
new ef<strong>for</strong>ts to expand the repertoire of genetically encoded catalysts.<br />

10:15 CASE STUDY • UNPUBLISHED DATA The Three Pillars of Evolutionary<br />
<strong>Enzyme</strong> Optimization<br />
The process of directed evolution can be viewed as a canonical optimization<br />
task comprised of three fundamental components: 1) Fitness function, 2)<br />
Diversity generation, and 3) Search algorithm. The presentation focuses on<br />
recent developments in the context of these components, discuss the critical<br />
interplay between them, and provide relevant examples that demonstrate<br />
the principles behind rapid and efficient enzyme optimization.<br />
Richard Fox, Ph.D., Research Fellow, Pioneer Hi-Bred International<br />
10:45 CASE STUDY Infolog-Based Protein Engineering Allows <strong>for</strong><br />
Controlled Navigation in Megadimensional Sequence Space<br />
Independently designed synthetic genes where substitutions are<br />
systematically incorporated (Infologs) allows <strong>for</strong> uni<strong>for</strong>m and maximally<br />
in<strong>for</strong>mation rich sampling of megadimensional sequence space. Infologs<br />
have been successfully used to engineer genes, proteins and pathways <strong>for</strong><br />
altered functionality. Several case studies are presented.<br />

11:15 UNPUBLISHED DATA Exploiting Squalene Hopene Cyclases and<br />
Their Catalytic Brønsted Acid <strong>for</strong> Non-Natural Reactions<br />
Squalene hopene cyclases (SHC) catalyze the Brønsted acid initiated<br />
cyclization of squalene to hopene via cationic intermediates in one of the<br />
most complex reactions known in biochemistry. By harnessing the catalytic<br />
machinery of SHCs we postulate that the pool of biocatalytic reactions <strong>for</strong><br />
these enzymes can be greatly expanded, bearing in mind the large diversity<br />
of reactions catalyzed by Brønsted acid catalysts in synthetic organic<br />
chemistry. To test this hypothesis molecules were designed which address<br />
not only substrate promiscuity (non-natural substrates) but also catalytic<br />
promiscuity (non-natural reactions). Employing this approach we show that<br />
SHCs can catalyze Friedel-Crafts alkylations and the synthesis of different<br />
heterocyclic compounds. Our results indicate that the catalytic machinery<br />
of SHCs can be exploited <strong>for</strong> general Brønsted acid catalysis in the chiral<br />
environment of the active site.<br />

<strong>Applications</strong> from Discovery (continued)<br />
1:30 Novel <strong>Enzyme</strong>s and Synthetic Pathways <strong>for</strong><br />
Bio-Based Chemicals<br />
The ability to rapidly and reliably design new enzymes is key to engineering<br />
customized cell factories <strong>for</strong> the production of novel fuels and chemicals. This<br />
presentation illustrates how Arzeda’s computational design technology <strong>for</strong> new<br />
enzyme activities is opening up avenues <strong>for</strong> the synthesis of truly novel metabolic<br />
pathways by designing– enabling the full potential of synthetic biology.<br />

2:00 CASE STUDY • UNPUBLISHED DATA Industrial <strong>Enzyme</strong> Discovery by<br />
Functional Transcriptomics<br />
In addition to bacteria plants, animals and fungi provide a vast and often<br />
complementary diversity of enzymes. Transcriptome sequencing, analysis<br />
and expression in yeasts as well as direct functional screening of normalized<br />
cDNA expression libraries now provide a similar simple and quick access to<br />
new enzymes from eukaryotes as from the bacterial world.<br />

Austrian Centre of Industrial Biotechnology GmbH, Austria<br />
2:30 Developing <strong>Enzyme</strong>s <strong>for</strong> Environmental <strong>Applications</strong> –<br />
From Fund Research to Product Development<br />
Anthropogenic pollutants are a major concern in both developed and<br />
developing countries because of their potential adverse effects on human<br />
health and the environment. We have identified a number of enzymes <strong>for</strong><br />
exploitation as cell-free bioremediants of pesticides and herbicides. We<br />
have improved these enzymes in the laboratory to meet their commercial<br />
requirements (production qualities, kinetic properties, etc.).<br />

Advanced High-Throughput Screening Technology and<br />
Rapid Structure-Assisted Biocatalyst Optimization<br />
The debate: should you scale your trans<strong>for</strong>mation now, keep on screening<br />
enzymes, or evolve current hit(s)? It’s situational of course - a complex<br />
interplay of fundamental and commercial factors. The current / future impact<br />
of expanding sequence databases, HT cloning, advanced cost-effective<br />
screening technologies, and optimization of biocatalyst per<strong>for</strong>mance by in<br />
silico sequence / 3D-structure in<strong>for</strong>med methods are discussed.<br />

4:00 CASE STUDY • UNPUBLISHED DATA <strong>Enzyme</strong> Evolution - Theory and Practice<br />
This presentation describes experimental work aimed at understanding<br />
how enzymes evolve. Properties that drive enzyme evolvability are described,<br />
including functional promiscuity, structural plasticity, and the role of<br />
neutral mutations in promoting new functions. This presentation shows<br />
how these fundamental principles apply to specific cases, and how far<br />
enzyme engineering can get in terms of both rates and specificity.<br />

<strong>Applications</strong> of <strong>Enzyme</strong> Engineering (continued)<br />
9:00 CASE STUDY Using Shuffling <strong>Technologies</strong> to Develop Specific<br />
Catalysts <strong>for</strong> Pharmaceutical Intermediates<br />
Codexis uses a suite of proprietary technologies to develop novel<br />
biocatalysts that can lead to commercial scale solutions <strong>for</strong> manufacturing<br />
and production. This presentation draws on several recent examples to<br />
illustrate the evolution process and how we work with our partners to<br />
enable new manufacturing routes to pharmaceutical intermediates.<br />
Lori Giver, Ph.D., Vice President, Technology and Innovation, Codexis Corp.<br />
9:30 UNPUBLISHED DATA Feedstock Engineering with Conditionally<br />
Activated <strong>Enzyme</strong>s<br />
In certain enzyme-dependent processes, premature activation of enzymes can<br />
detract from overall process per<strong>for</strong>mance. Agrivida has pioneered the use<br />
of inteins to engineer enzymes that are activated only under predetermined<br />
conditions that correspond to critical steps in a process or product<br />
application. We have used such intein-modified enzymes to enhance biomass<br />
hydrolysis and other applications involving industrial hydrolases.<br />

10:30 CASE STUDY • UNPUBLISHED DATA <strong>Enzyme</strong> Process Scale-Up Using<br />
SelectAZyme<br />
The application of biocatalysis in chemical development continues to grow<br />
as it moves from the domain of specialised technology to mainstream<br />
methodology, a move that has been facilitated by the increasing commercial<br />
“off-the-shelf” availability of enzymes at large scale. This presentation,<br />
through actual case studies, illustrates the development and application of<br />
selectAZyme TM biocatalysts. Highlights of recent examples of the scale-up<br />
of biooxidation processed and application of ultrasound <strong>for</strong> the rapid<br />
synthesis of chiral intermediates is discussed.<br />

11:30 UNPUBLISHED DATA Directed Evolution of <strong>Enzyme</strong>s to Provide<br />
New Biocatalysts <strong>for</strong> Organic Synthesis<br />
This presentation describes recent work from our laboratory aimed at<br />
developing new biocatalysts <strong>for</strong> enantioselective organic synthesis. For<br />
example, monoamine oxidases (MAO-N) are enzymes that catalyze the<br />
oxidation of amines to imines. MAO-N can be used as a biocatalyst to obtain<br />
enantiomerically pure chiral amines by deracemisation or desymmetrisation<br />
of substrates. Combination of MAO-N with imine reductases and<br />
transaminases enables new pathways to be developed <strong>for</strong> alkaloid synthesis.<br />
Nicholas J. Turner, Ph.D., Professor of Chemical Biology,<br />
University of Manchester, United Kingdom<br />
12:00 Pharmaceutical <strong>Applications</strong> of Biocatalysis<br />
Biocatalysis has been implemented in manufacturing processes <strong>for</strong> Pfizer<br />
products including Lipitor TM , Lyrica TM , and Xalkori TM . The development<br />
of enzymatic processes <strong>for</strong> these products, and other compounds,<br />
illustrates the use of several classes of enzymes including ketoreductases,<br />
transaminases, and ene reductases.<br />

1:30 Novel <strong>Enzyme</strong> <strong>Applications</strong> in Pulp and Paper Treatment<br />
Paper products are essential components of modern life, important <strong>for</strong><br />
communication, packaging and a multitude of other uses. One advantage<br />
<strong>for</strong> the paper industry is that its basic raw material (fiber from trees) is<br />
renewable. <strong>Enzyme</strong>s are available that can modify these raw materials,<br />
improving the quality and production of paper products. Some replace<br />
conventional chemicals and others provide unusual novel benefits.<br />
Philip M. Hoekstra, M.S., Director, Systems & Support/Research &<br />
Development, Buckman International<br />
2:00 Directing Natural <strong>Enzyme</strong>s to Synthetic Polymeric Substrates<br />
The surface specific mode of action of enzymes combined with<br />
mild reaction conditions represent major advantages of enzymatic<br />
functionalization of polymeric materials when compared to chemical<br />
processes. Engineering enzyme surface properties, attachment of binding<br />
modules and addition of hydrophobins are useful strategies - apart from<br />
engineering the active site architecture – to improve the activity of enzymes<br />
on their non-natural polymeric substrates.<br />
