Cofactor-dependent enzyme catalysis in functionalized ionic solvents.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Functionalized, hydrogen-bonding ionic liquids have been successfully evaluated as media for the performance of cofactor-dependent enzyme catalysed oxidations; the effects of incorporating hydroxyl groups into both the cation and anion have been studied and the dependence of activity upon water content has been evaluated.

The CoFactor database: organic cofactors in enzyme catalysis
MOTIVATION Organic enzyme cofactors are involved in many enzyme reactions. Therefore, the analysis of cofactors is crucial to gain a better understanding of enzyme catalysis. To aid this, we have created the CoFactor database. RESULTS CoFactor provides a web interface to access hand-curated data extracted from the literature on organic enzyme cofactors in biocatalysis, as well as automaticall...
متن کاملThe Enzymic Conversion of Protoporphyrinogen IX to Protoporphyrin IX
The oxidation of protoporphyrinogen IX to protoporphyrin TX in yeast cells is enzyme-dependent. The enzyme, protoporphyrinogen oxidase, associated with purified mitochondria isolated from Saccharomyces cereuisiae was solubilized by sonic treatment in the presence of detergent and partially purified. The molecular weight of the enzyme was 180,000 f 18,000. The purified preparation could be store...
متن کاملNon-Aqueous Biocatalysis in Homogeneous Solvent Systems
Enzymes are highly specific catalysts that typically function in aqueous solvents. However, many enzymes retain their catalytic activities at high concentrations in non-aqueous environments, including neat hydrophilic organic solvents. In fact, enzymes can be used to carry out reactions in organic solvents that are not possible in aqueous systems. Therefore, biocatalysis in homogenous non-aqueo...
متن کاملEnzymatic catalysis of formation of Z-aspartame in ionic liquid - An alternative to enzymatic catalysis in organic solvents.
We present the first report of enzymatic catalysis in an ionic liquid. The virtually nonexistent vapor pressure makes ionic liquids an exciting new alternative for enzyme-catalyzed syntheses in environmentally friendly environments. Z-aspartame was synthesized in a thermolysin-catalyzed reaction of carbobenzoxy-L-aspartate and L-phenylalanine methyl ester hydrochloride in 1-butyl-3-methylimidaz...
