Sustainable methods for producing enantiopure drugs have been developed. Chlorohydrins as building blocks several β-blockers synthesized in high enantiomeric purity by chemo-enzymatic methods. The yield of the chlorohydrins increased use catalytic amount base. reason this was found to be reduced formation dimeric by-products compared higher concentration An overall reduction reagents and reacti...

A sulfite-activated ATPase isolated from Sulfolobus solfataricus had a relative molecular mass of 370,000. It was composed of three subunits whose relative molecular masses were 63,000, 48,000, and 24,000. The enzyme was inhibited by the vacuolar ATPase inhibitors nitrate and N-ethylmaleimide; 4-chloro-7-nitrobenzofurazan (NBD-Cl) was also inhibitory. N-Ethylmaleimide was predominately bound to...

Both, Haloferax mediterranei and Haloferax volcanii membranes contain ATPases which are capable of hydrolyzing ATP in presence of Mg2+ or Mn2+. The ATPases require high con­ centrations of NaCl, a pH value of 9, and high temperatures up to 60 °C. Free manganese ions inhibited the enzyme activity of either ATPase. The ATPases of Hf. mediterranei and Hf. vol­ canii, respectively, show different s...
