On the homology of the active-site peptides of liver carboxylesterases [PDF]
, 1969 1. 1.Highly purified preparations of liver carboxylesterases (carboxylic ester hydrolases, EC 3.1.1.1) from pig, sheep, ox and chicken were stoichiometrically labelled with [P]DFP, and then subjected to peptic digestion. 2.

Utilisation of novel marine biocatalysts in enantioselective synthesis [PDF]
, 2022 This project focuses on the utilisation of hydrolases and transaminases as biocatalysts in asymmetric synthesis. The primary aim of this work is the investigation of the synthetic utility of marine biocatalysts, which were isolated from a saltwater lake ...

Oxidation of Ketones: A (Chemo-) Enzymatic Approach Using Oxygenases and Hydrolases [PDF]
, 2013 Oxidation reactions are important in organic chemistry as well as in nature. In industry, oxidations are commonly used for the synthesis of chemicals and pharmaceuticals, however such processes have a number of limitations, they use chlorinated solvents,

Plant carboxylesterases involved in pesticide hydrolysis [PDF]
, 2006 Many herbicides are applied in the form of carboxylic esters to increase their hydrophobicity and hence aid their passage through the waxy cuticle. Hydrolysis in planta of these pro-herbicide esters releases the active acid or alcohol and the rate of ...

LIPASES PRODUZIDAS POR LEVEDURAS: CATALISADORES PODEROSOS PARA APLICAÇÕES INDUSTRIAIS [PDF]
, 2007 The term “lipolytic enzymes” refers to the lipases and carboxylic ester hydrolases. Lipase production is widespread among yeasts, but few are capable of producing lipases with interesting characteristics and in sufficient amounts to be industrially ...

Exploring the pH dependence of an improved PETase [PDF]
International audienceEnzymatic recycling of plastic and especially of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) has shown great potential to reduce its negative impact on our society. PET hydrolases (PETases) have been optimized using rational design and machine

Overproduction of the Aspergillus niger feruloyl esterase for pulp bleaching application [PDF]
, 2003 A well-known industrial fungus for enzyme production, Aspergillus niger, was selected to produce the feruloyl esterase FAEA by homologous overexpression for pulp bleaching application. The gpd gene promoter was used to drive FAEA expression. Changing the

Towards the directed evolution of an L-aspartate oxidase from Pseudomonas putida [PDF]
, 2012 Amino acid oxidases (AAOs) are enantioselective flavoenzymes that catalyse the oxidation of amino acids into imino acids, which spontaneously hydrolyse in water to form keto acids. AAOs have several potential applications, most notably as biocatalysts in

Biotransormations with plant coenzyme A-dependent acyltransferases [PDF]
, 2008 The acylation of plant natural products is widely observed in nature and this modification often confers novel bioactivities. In nature, each of these acylations is selectively catalysed by a coenzyme A-dependent acyltransferase and biotransformations ...
