  2. 6. The kinetics of cellulose enzymatic hydrolysis : Implications of the synergism between enzymes

    Author : Priit Väljamäe; Jan-Christer Janson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Biochemistry; Acetobacter; Cellobiohydrolase; Cellobiose; Cellulase; Cellulose; Diffusion; Endoglucanase; Hydrolysis; Inhibition; Kinetics; Model; Product; Substrate; Surface; Synergism; Trichoderma reesei; Biokemi; Biochemistry; Biokemi; biokemi; Biochemistry;

    Abstract : The hydrolysis kinetics of bacterial cellulose and its derivatives by Trichoderma reesei cellulases was studied. The cellulose surface erosion model was introduced to explain the gradual and strong retardation of the rate of enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulose. READ MORE

  4. 7. Engineered Alcohol Dehydrogenases for Stereoselective Chemical Transformations

    Author : Thilak Reddy Enugala; Mikael Widersten; Manfred T. Reetz; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; alcohol dehydrogenase-A; biocatalysts; protein engineering; enzyme kinetics; sec-alcohols; ketones; stereoselectivity; regioselectivity; substrate selectivity and promiscuity.; Biokemi; Biochemistry;

    Abstract : Enzymes are biomolecules built from amino acids and catalyze the chemical transformations in a cell. Enzymes are by nature stereoselective, biodegradable, environmentally friendly, and can perform catalysis in aqueous solutions and at ambient temperatures. READ MORE

  5. 8. Optimizing Enzyme Immobilization in Mesoporous Silica - A Spectroscopic Study of the Dynamics and Spatial Distribution of the Confined Enzymes

    Author : Pegah Sadat Nabavi Zadeh; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; fluorescence spectroscopy; dynamics; mesoporous silica; Immunogold staining; Transmission electron microscopy; anisotropy; microviscosity; real-time monitoring; Cy5.; Förster resonance energy transfer; Enzyme immobilization; Cy3;

    Abstract : Enzymes as biological catalysts are immobilized in porous materials to improve the enzyme activity and simplify their purification from the reaction media in biocatalytic applications. Mesoporous silica (MPS) particles are used as a promising support material for the immobilization of enzymes. READ MORE

  6. 9. Characterization and Directed Evolution of an Alcohol Dehydrogenase : A Study Towards Understanding of Three Central Aspects of Substrate Selectivity

    Author : Emil Hamnevik; Mikael Widersten; Gerrit Poelarends; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Alcohol dehydrogenase; ADH-A; Biocatalysis; Directed evolution; Enantioselectivity; Enzyme kinetics; Enzyme mechanisms; Protein Engineering; Regioselectivity; Substrate selectivity; Biokemi; Biochemistry;

    Abstract : Many different chemicals are used in the everyday life, like detergents and pharmaceuticals. However, their production has a big impact on health and environment as much of the raw materials are not renewable and the standard ways of production in many cases includes toxic and environmentally hazardous components.

  7. 10. Oxidation of 1,2-Diols Using Alcohol Dehydrogenases : From Kinetic Characterization to Directed Evolution

    Author : Cecilia Blikstad; Mikael Widersten; Stefan Lutz; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; enzyme kinetics; alcohol dehydrogenase; directed evolution; enzyme engineering; diol; α-hydroxy aldehyde; Biokemi; Biochemistry;

    Abstract : The use of enzymes as catalysts for chemical transformations has emerged as a “greener” alternative to traditional organic synthesis. An issue to solve though, is that enzymes are designed by nature to catalyze reactions in a living cell and therefore, in many cases, do not meet the requirements of a suitable biocatalyst. READ MORE
