Min-max Driving Force Analysis and In Vitro Enzyme Characterization of Proposed In Vivo Ethylenediamine Production Pathway
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Ethylenediamine is a large volume chemical used in the synthesis of advanced products across multiple industries and has multiple potential applications in sustainable chemistry. It’s currently produced from petroleum-based processes that raise environmental and health concerns. Here we report on the assessment of the thermodynamic and biochemical feasibility of a proposed enzymatic ethylenediamine bioproduction pathway that would branch from existing engineered ethylene glycol utilization pathway in Escherichia coli. The bioproduction pathway branches from glycolaldehyde, which undergoes a transamination/oxidation step followed by the other before a final transamination step. Min-max Driving Force analysis concluded that the pathway is thermodynamically feasible under certain pathway conditions. Transamination of glycolaldehyde, glyoxal, and aminoacetaldehyde by Silicibacter pomeroyi transaminase SPO3471 were observed and production of monoethanolamine and ethylenediamine were confirmed. Oxidation activity on glycolaldehyde and monoethanolamine by E. coli methylglyoxal reductase ydjG were observed, however production of glyoxal and aminoacetaldehyde could not be directly confirmed due to insufficient evidence and molecular instability respectively. Our results highlight the potential of oxidoreductases and transaminases to be used in an in vivo system for the biosynthesis of ethylenediamine.

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.
