NAD(P)-dependent oxidoreductases are valuable tools for the synthesis of chiral compounds. Due to the high cost of the pyridine cofactors, in situ cofactor regeneration is required for preparative applications. In recent years, existing regeneration methodologies have been improved and new approaches have been devised. These include the use of newly discovered dehydrogenases that are stable in ...

The conductance o f N al in acetonitrile-water mixtures was measured at 25.000 ± 0.001 °C for the whole com position range o f the mixed solvent, the salt molarity ranging from 5 • 10“ 5 to 1 • 10-2 . Using the Fuoss-Hsia equation with the Femandez-Prini parameters, the association constants were computed for several values o f the ion-ion distances. The influence o f the mixed solvent composit...

Instead of the chlorofluorocarbon specified as the ozone-depleting substance, a chlorinated organic compound, hydrocarbon, alcohol, etc. are used as an alternative washing solvent, and they are used as a mixed solvent in many cases. Therefore, adsorption operation of binary systems is needed. Furthermore, since azeotropic may happen, in the case of the design of a solvent recovery system and op...

We use mixed quantum-classical molecular dynamics simulations and ultrafast transient hole-burning spectroscopy to build a molecular-level picture of the motions of solvent molecules around Na atoms in liquid tetrahydrofuran. We find that even at room temperature, the solvation of Na atoms occurs in discrete steps, with the number of solvent molecules nearest the atom changing one at a time. Th...
