The preparation and characterization of UV-cured polyurethane-based materials for the mild inclusion immobilization of enzymes was investigated. Full curing of the polymer precursor/enzyme solution mixture was realized by a short irradiation with UV-light at ambient temperatures. The included aqueous enzyme

Enantiopure β-nitroalcohols are versatile intermediates used in the synthesis of important pharmaceuticals and chiral synthons. In this article, immobilized Arabidopsis thaliana HNL (AtHNL)-catalyzed preparation of (S)-β-nitroalcohols from their racemic mixtures via retro-Henry reaction was studied. AtHNL used in biocatalysis was

A nitrilase gene from Alcaligenes sp. ECU0401 was cloned and overexpressed in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) in a soluble form. The encoded protein with a His₆-tag was purified to nearly homogeneity as revealed by SDS-PAGE with a molecular weight of
A nitrilase-mediated pathway has significant advantages in the production of optically pure (R)-(-)-mandelic acid. However, unwanted byproduct, low enantioselectivity, and specific activity reduce its value in practical applications. An ideal nitrilase that can efficiently hydrolyze mandelonitrile to optically pure (R)-(-)-mandelic
