Journal ArticleDOI

Improved biocatalysts by directed evolution and rational protein design.

TL;DR: The efficient application of biocatalysts requires the availability of suitable enzymes with high activity and stability under process conditions, desired substrate selectivity and high enantioselectivity, which often need to be optimized to fulfill these requirements.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effect of Oxygen Limitation and Medium Composition on Escherichia coli Fermentation in Shake‐Flask Cultures

TL;DR: The results suggest that the length of fermentation, choice of medium, and aeration do not normally satisfy the requirements for unlimited growth in shake flasks, and variation of medium composition and oxygen supply can be evaluated by the measurement of the respiratory activity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Stabilization of NAD-dependent formate dehydrogenase from Candida boidinii by site-directed mutagenesis of cysteine residues.

TL;DR: Initial results in initial tests concerning the application of the enzyme for regeneration of NADH in biotransformation of trimethyl pyruvate to Ltert leucine were obtained with two mutants, FDHC23S and FDHC 23S/C262A, which are significantly more stable than the wt enzyme.
Journal ArticleDOI

A new perspective on thiamine catalysis.

TL;DR: The three-dimensional structures of ThDP-dependent enzymes seem to be highly similar, and an ever-expanding range of reactions that they are able to catalyze and see increased amino acid sequence heterogeneity are found.
