Taking Advantage of Promiscuity of Cold-Active Enzymes
Applied Sciences, 2020 Cold-active enzymes increase their catalytic efficiency at low-temperature, introducing structural flexibility at or near the active sites. Inevitably, this feat seems to be accompanied by lower thermal stability.

Antarctic bacterial isolates that produce cold-active extracellular proteases at low temperature but are active and stable at high temperature [PDF]
Polar Research, 2011 We report the isolation and identification of bacteria that produce extracellular cold-active proteases, obtained from water samples collected near the Uruguayan Antarctic Base on King George Island, South Shetlands.

Crystal structure of a cold-active protease (Pro21717) from the psychrophilic bacterium, Pseudoalteromonas arctica PAMC 21717, at 1.4 Å resolution: Structural adaptations to cold and functional analysis of a laundry detergent enzyme. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Enzymes isolated from organisms found in cold habitats generally exhibit higher catalytic activity at low temperatures than their mesophilic homologs and are therefore known as cold-active enzymes.

Protein surface softness is the origin of enzyme cold-adaptation of trypsin. [PDF]
PLoS Computational Biology, 2014 Life has effectively colonized most of our planet and extremophilic organisms require specialized enzymes to survive under harsh conditions. Cold-loving organisms (psychrophiles) express heat-labile enzymes that possess a high specific activity and ...
