An Efficient Light-Driven P450 BM3 Biocatalyst
P450s are heme thiolate enzymes that
catalyze the regio- and stereoselective
functionalization of unactivated C–H bonds using molecular
dioxygen and two electrons delivered by the reductase. We have developed
hybrid P450 BM3 heme domains containing a covalently attached RuÂ(II)
photosensitizer in order to circumvent the dependency on the reductase
and perform P450 reactions upon visible light irradiation. A highly
active hybrid enzyme with improved stability and a modified RuÂ(II)
photosensitizer is able to catalyze the light-driven hydroxylation
of lauric acid with total turnover numbers of 935 and initial reaction
rate of 125 mol product/(mol enzyme/min)
Impact of Coronary CT Angiography-derived Fractional Flow Reserve on Downstream Management and Clinical Outcomes in Individuals with and without Diabetes
PurposeTo compare the clinical use of coronary CT angiography (CCTA)-derived fractional flow reserve (FFR) in individuals with and without diabetes mellitus (DM).Materials and methodsThis secondary analysis included participants (enrolled July 2015 to October 2017) from the prospective, multicenter, international The Assessing Diagnostic Value of Noninvasive CT-FFR in Coronary Care (ADVANCE) registry (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier, NCT02499679) who were evaluated for suspected coronary artery disease (CAD), with one or more coronary stenosis ≥30% on CCTA images, using CT-FFR. CCTA and CT-FFR findings, treatment strategies at 90 days, and clinical outcomes at 1-year follow-up were compared in participants with and without DM.ResultsThe study included 4290 participants (mean age, 66 years ± 10 [SD]; 66% male participants; 22% participants with DM). Participants with DM had more obstructive CAD (one or more coronary stenosis ≥50%; 78.8% vs 70.6%, P P P P = .01). However, no between group differences were observed when stratified by stenosis severity (ConclusionBoth anatomic CCTA findings and CT-FFR demonstrated a more complex pattern of CAD in participants with versus without DM. Rates of treatment reclassification were similar regardless of the presence of DM, and DM was not an adverse prognostic indicator when adjusted for diameter stenosis and CT-FFR.Clinical trial registration no.
