Activity-Stability Relationships in Extremophilic Enzymes [PDF]
Psychrophilic, mesophilic, and thermophilic alpha-amylases have been studied as regards their conformational stability, heat inactivation, irreversible unfolding, activation parameters of the reaction, properties of the enzyme in complex with a transition state analog, and structural permeability.

A new intrinsic thermal parameter for enzymes reveals true temperature optima [PDF]
Two established thermal properties of enzymes are the Arrhenius activation energy and thermal stability. Arising from anomalies found in the variation of enzyme activity with temperature, a comparison has been made of experimental data for the activity ...

Purification and characterization of cyclodextrin glucanotransferase from alkalophilic Bacillus sp. G1 [PDF]
A cyclodextrin glucanotransferase (CGTase) was successively purified by ammonium sulphate precipitation, and affinity chromatography on a-CD (epoxy)-Sepharose 6B column. The specific activity of the CGTase was increased approximately 2200-fold, from 8.43
