Immobilized Biocatalysts: Novel Approaches and Tools for Binding Enzymes to Supports

Immobilized biocatalysts: novel approaches and tools for binding enzymes to supports.

Co‐immobilized Phosphorylated Cofactors and Enzymes as Self‐Sufficient Heterogeneous Biocatalysts for Chemical Processes

Enzyme cofactors play a major role in biocatalysis, as many enzymes require them to catalyze highly valuable reactions in organic synthesis. However, the cofactor recycling is often a hurdle to implement enzymes at the industrial level. The fabrication of heterogeneous biocatalysts co-immobilizing phosphorylated cofactors (PLP, FAD+ , and NAD+ ) and enzymes onto the same solid material is repor...

Biocatalysts Immobilized in Ultrathin Ordered Films

The immobilization of enzymes and other proteins into ordered thin materials has attracted considerable attention over the past few years. This research has demonstrated that biomolecules immobilized in different [Langmuir-Blodgett (LB)/Langmuir-Schaefer (LS)] matrixes retain their functional characteristics to a large extent. These new materials are of interest for applications as biosensors a...

Signal processing approaches as novel tools for the clustering of N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminidases

Nowadays, the clustering of proteins and enzymes in particular, are one of the most popular topics in bioinformatics. Increasing number of chitinase genes from different organisms and their sequences have beenidentified. So far, various mathematical algorithms for the clustering of chitinase genes have been used butmost of them seem to be confusing and sometimes insufficient. In the...

Archaeal Enzymes and Applications in Industrial Biocatalysts

Archaeal enzymes are playing an important role in industrial biotechnology. Many representatives of organisms living in "extreme" conditions, the so-called Extremophiles, belong to the archaeal kingdom of life. This paper will review studies carried by the Exeter group and others regarding archaeal enzymes that have important applications in commercial biocatalysis. Some of these biocatalysts a...
