Enzymes: principles and biotechnological applications
Enzymes are biological catalysts (also known as biocatalysts) that speed up biochemical reactions in living organisms, and which can be extracted from cells and then used to catalyse a wide range of commercially important processes. This chapter covers the basic principles of enzymology, such as classification, structure, kinetics and inhibition, and also provides an overview of industrial appl...
متن کاملBiotechnological Applications of Transglutaminases
In nature, transglutaminases catalyze the formation of amide bonds between proteins to form insoluble protein aggregates. This specific function has long been exploited in the food and textile industries as a protein cross-linking agent to alter the texture of meat, wool, and leather. In recent years, biotechnological applications of transglutaminases have come to light in areas ranging from ma...
متن کاملBiotechnological applications of thermophoresis
Measuring parameters such as stability and con-formation of biomolecules, especially of nucleicacids, is important in the field of biology, medicaldiagnostics and biotechnology. We present athermophoretic method to analyse the conformationand thermal stability of nucleic acids. It relies on thedirected movement of molecules in a temperaturegradient that depends on su...
متن کاملHaloalkane dehalogenases: biotechnological applications.
Haloalkane dehalogenases (EC 3.8.1.5, HLDs) are α/β-hydrolases which act to cleave carbon-halogen bonds. Due to their unique catalytic mechanism, broad substrate specificity and high robustness, the members of this enzyme family have been employed in several practical applications: (i) biocatalytic preparation of optically pure building-blocks for organic synthesis; (ii) recycling of by-product...
متن کاملBiotechnological applications of microalgae
Microalgae are important biological resources that have a wide range of biotechnological applications. Due to their high nutritional value, microalgae such as Spirulina and Chlorella are being mass cultured for health food. A variety of high-value products including polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), pigments such as carotenoids and phycobiliproteins, and bioactive compounds are useful as nutr...
