Lipases are very versatile enzymes, and produced the attention of the several industrial
processes. Lipase can be achieved from several sources, animal, vegetable, and …

Cytochrome P450s (Cyt P450s) and peroxidases are enzymes featuring iron heme cofactors
that have wide applicability as biocatalysts in chemical syntheses. Cyt P450s are a family of …

Enzymes found in nature have been exploited in industry due to their inherent catalytic
properties in complex chemical processes under mild experimental and environmental …

Introductory courses in biochemistry teach that enzymes are specific for their substrates and
the reactions they catalyze. Enzymes diverging from this statement are sometimes called …

This article discusses the application of thermodynamic and related analysis to reaction
systems for enzymic or whole cell catalysis, in which there are high proportions of organic …

Peptides are molecules of paramount importance in the fields of health care and nutrition.
Several technologies for their production are now available, among which chemical and …

This review surveys the processes leading to loss of protein function and the types of
molecular interaction that help stabilize proteins. It considers the effects of organic solvents …

It is 20 years since site-directed mutagenesis was first used to modify the active site of an
enzyme of known structure and mechanism. Since then, this method has contributed far …

Enzymes are routinely used in organic solvents where numerous reactions of interest to
synthetic and polymer chemists can be performed with high selectivity. Recently, it has …

Enzyme activity in nonaqueous media (eg conventional organic solvents) is typically lower
than in water by several orders of magnitude. There is a rising interest of developing new …
