Biocatalytic oxidation of 4-vinylphenol by <i>Nocardia</i>
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Nocardia species NRRL 5646 stereospecifically hydrates 4-vinylphenol (15) to S-1-(4'-hydroxyphenyl)ethanol (17), and further oxidizes 17 to 4'-hydroxyacetophenone (18). Labeled metabolites 17 and 18 obtained from incubations in D 2 O and H 2 18 O support initial enzymatic tautomerization of 15 to a reactive quinone methide (16), which adds water in the first reaction. Commitment to catalysis is high in the hydration reaction, while the alcohol dehydrogenation reaction appears to be reversible. The stereochemical features of water addition, alcohol oxidations, and ketone reductions with growing culture biocatalysis were established by chiral HPLC. Alcohol oxidations or ketone reductions in 12 000 × g supernatants preferentially require NADP + NADPH,H + as co-factors. The alcohol dehydrogenase has broad substrate specificity, favoring the oxidation of primary alkanols and 4-hydroxybenzyl alcohols.Key words : 4-vinylphenol, Nocardia sp., enantiospecific hydration, 1-(4'-hydroxyphenyl)ethanol, 4'-hydroxyacetophenone

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
