Organic-Solvent-Tolerant Carboxylic Ester Hydrolases for Organic Synthesis [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2020 Major challenges hampering biotechnological applications of esterases include the requirement to accept nonnatural and chemically demanding substrates and the tolerance of the enzymes toward organic solvents which are often required to solubilize such substrates.

Carboxylic ester hydrolases from hyperthermophiles [PDF]
Extremophiles, 2009 Carboxylic ester hydrolyzing enzymes constitute a large group of enzymes that are able to catalyze the hydrolysis, synthesis or transesterification of an ester bond. They can be found in all three domains of life, including the group of hyperthermophilic bacteria and archaea.

Reactivity of a Recombinant Esterase from Thermus thermophilus HB27 in Aqueous and Organic Media
Microorganisms, 2022 The thermoalkalophilic membrane-associated esterase E34Tt from Thermus thermophilus HB27 was cloned and expressed in Kluyveromyces lactis (KLEST-3S esterase). The recombinant enzyme was tested as a biocatalyst in aqueous and organic media. It displayed a

Quantitative comparison of catalytic mechanisms and overall reactions in convergently evolved enzymes: implications for classification of enzyme function. [PDF]
PLoS Computational Biology, 2010 Functionally analogous enzymes are those that catalyze similar reactions on similar substrates but do not share common ancestry, providing a window on the different structural strategies nature has used to evolve required catalysts.

Lipase catalysed kinetic resolutions of 3-aryl alkanoic acids [PDF]
, 2011 Hydrolase catalysed kinetic resolutions leading to a series of 3-aryl alkanoic acids (≥94% ee) is described. Hydrolysis of the ethyl esters with a series of hydrolases was undertaken to identify biocatalysts that yield the corresponding acids with ...
