    Abstract : Biocatalysis is the branch of science at the intersection between chemistry and biology and specifcally dedicated to the application of natural evolvable catalysts, i.e. enzymes, in human-designed chemical processes. Among the array of promising biocatalysts, transaminases (EC 2. READ MORE

  4. 2. Protein Engineering of Candida antarctica Lipase A : Enhancing Enzyme Properties by Evolutionary and Semi-Rational Methods

    Author : Anders G. Sandström; Jan-Erling Bäckvall; Uwe T. Bornscheuer; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; lipase; protein engineering; directed evolution; kinetic resolution; structural biology; Enzyme engineering; Enzymteknik; organisk kemi; Organic Chemistry;

    Abstract : Enzymes are gaining increasing importance as catalysts for selective transformations in organic synthetic chemistry. The engineering and design of enzymes is a developing, growing research field that is employed in biocatalysis. READ MORE

  5. 3. Pea carbonic anhydrase : a kinetic study

    Author : Inga-Maj Johansson; W. Richard Chegwidden; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Pisum sativum; carbonic anhydrase; kinetic studies; site-directed mutagenisis;

    Abstract : The enzyme carbonic anhydrase (CA), catalysing the interconversion between CO2 and HCO3', has long been known to be present in plants as well as in animals. Several of the animal isozymes, but none of the plant CAs, have been extensively studied. READ MORE

  6. 4. Enzyme Cold Adaptation through Evolution of Protein Flexibility

    Author : Jaka Sočan; Johan Åqvist; Hugo Gutiérrez-de-Terán; Janez Mavri; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; EVB; Empirical valence bond method; Pancreatic elastase; α-amylase; Enzyme catalysis; Enzyme evolution; Cold adaptation; Temperature dependence of catalytic rates; Psychrophilic enzyme; Molekylär biovetenskap; Molecular Life Sciences;

    Abstract : What lives, evolves. Macromolecular catalysis is a process, central to both evolutionary and metabolic aspect of life, as it provides a systematic bias favouring certain chemical processes. READ MORE

  7. 5. Enzyme assays for lignin–carbohydrate bond hydrolysis

    Author : Hampus Sunner; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Enzyme kinetic param- eter estimation; Glucuronoyl esterase; Enzyme assays; Lignin-carbohydrate bonds; Synergistic enzyme assay;

    Abstract : To identify, produce, and use enzymes, analytical methods known as enzyme assays are employed. Enzyme assays are based on analysing the changes brought about on a substrate by an enzyme under defined conditions. Assays are often based on simplified reactions acting as substitutes for the reaction of interest. READ MORE
