  1. 1. Enzyme Cold Adaptation through Evolution of Protein Flexibility

    Författare :Jaka Sočan; Johan Åqvist; Hugo Gutiérrez-de-Terán; Janez Mavri; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; EVB; Empirical valence bond method; Pancreatic elastase; α-amylase; Enzyme catalysis; Enzyme evolution; Cold adaptation; Temperature dependence of catalytic rates; Psychrophilic enzyme; Molekylär biovetenskap; Molecular Life Sciences;

    Sammanfattning : What lives, evolves. Macromolecular catalysis is a process, central to both evolutionary and metabolic aspect of life, as it provides a systematic bias favouring certain chemical processes. LÄS MER

  3. 2. The Importance of Being Promiscuous : Understanding enzyme function, specificity, and evolution through structure

    Författare :Annika Söderholm; Maria Selmer; Birte Höcker; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Enzyme evolution; enzyme promiscuity; X-ray crystallography.;

    Sammanfattning : Enzymes are known to be amazingly specific and efficient catalysts. However, many enzymes also have so-called promiscuous functions, i.e., they are able to catalyze other reactions than their main one. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Computational Protein Evolution : Modeling the Selectivity and Promiscuity of Engineered Enzymes

    Författare :Klaudia Szeler; Shina C. Lynn Kamerlin; Mikael Widersten; Maria Ramos; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; enzymes; kinetics; catalysis; density functional theory; empirical valence bond; diesters; evolution; promiscuity; Biokemi; Biochemistry;

    Sammanfattning : Enzymes are biological catalysts that significantly increase the rate of all biochemical reactions that take place within cells and are essential to maintain life. Many questions regarding their function remain unknown. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Oxidation of 1,2-Diols Using Alcohol Dehydrogenases : From Kinetic Characterization to Directed Evolution

    Författare :Cecilia Blikstad; Mikael Widersten; Stefan Lutz; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; enzyme kinetics; alcohol dehydrogenase; directed evolution; enzyme engineering; diol; α-hydroxy aldehyde; Biokemi; Biochemistry;

    Sammanfattning : The use of enzymes as catalysts for chemical transformations has emerged as a “greener” alternative to traditional organic synthesis. An issue to solve though, is that enzymes are designed by nature to catalyze reactions in a living cell and therefore, in many cases, do not meet the requirements of a suitable biocatalyst. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Protein Engineering of Candida antarctica Lipase A : Enhancing Enzyme Properties by Evolutionary and Semi-Rational Methods

    Författare :Anders G. Sandström; Jan-Erling Bäckvall; Uwe T. Bornscheuer; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; lipase; protein engineering; directed evolution; kinetic resolution; structural biology; Enzyme engineering; Enzymteknik; organisk kemi; Organic Chemistry;

    Sammanfattning : Enzymes are gaining increasing importance as catalysts for selective transformations in organic synthetic chemistry. The engineering and design of enzymes is a developing, growing research field that is employed in biocatalysis. LÄS MER
