Microwave activation of enzymatic catalysis.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Microwave irradiation can be used to regulate biocatalysis. Herein, the utilization of hyperthermophilic enzymes in a microwave reactor is reported. While these enzymes are inactive at low temperatures, they can be activated with microwave irradiation. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first illustration of a specific microwave effect in enzymatic catalysis.

Regiospecific synthesis of functionalised 1,3-diarylisobenzofurans via palladium- and rhodium-catalysed reaction of boronic acids with o-acylbenzaldehydes under thermal or microwave activation.
Variously substituted 1,3-diarylisobenzofurans have been regiospecifically prepared via palladium- and rhodium-catalysed reaction of functionalised boronic acids onto o-acylbenzaldehydes. Rhodium catalysis has furthermore been improved using microwave activation. Thus, isobenzofurans containing aryl groups substituted by halogens, unprotected amine, alcohol and even aldehyde groups, have been o...

Kinetic resolution of 1-phenyl-2-propyn-1-ol, an important chiral synthon, was studied through trans-esterification with acyl acetate to investigate synergism between microwave irradiation and enzyme catalysis. Lipases from different microbial origins were employed for the kinetic resolution of (R/S)-1-phenyl-2-propyn-1-ol, among which Candida antarctica lipase B, immobilized on acrylic resin (...

متن کاملThe Relationship between Cation-Induced Substrate Configuration and Enzymatic Activity of Phosphatidate Phosphohydrolase from Human Liver
The mechanism by which bi-and trivalent cations affect human liver phosphatidatephosphohydrolase (PAP) activity was investigated. Bivalent cations up to 1 mM increased PAP activity whereas at higher concentrations the activity of the enzyme decreased. The stimulatory concentration for trivalent cations such as Al3+ and Cr3+, however, was much lower being 2 m M and 1 m M, respectively. All catio...
