Current methods for the production of natural vanilla extract are long and tedious, and the efficiency of the vanillin extraction is usually conditioned by different factors during the traditional curing process (temperatures and weather conditions). As an important fraction o ...
β-Glucosidases are used in the food industry to hydrolyse glycosidic bonds in complex sugars, with enzymes sourced from extremophiles better able to tolerate the process conditions. In this work, a novel β-glycosidase from the acidophilic organism Alicyclobacillus herbarius wa ...
An (R)-Selective Transaminase From Thermomyces stellatus
Stabilizing the Tetrameric Form
The identification and 3D structural characterization of a homolog of the (R)-selective transaminase (RTA) from Aspergillus terreus (AtRTA), from the thermotolerant fungus Thermomyces stellatus (TsRTA) is here reported. The thermostability of TsRTA (40% retained activity after ...
