Abstract:The availability of enzymes with optimal functional temperatures above 70°C has had considerable impact on basic and applied elements of biocatalysis. Not only have extremely thermophilic enzymes expanded the known thermal range of biological systems but they have also ushered in a new era in applied biocatalysis that is less restricted by limitations related to thermoactivity and thermostability. While much effort has been directed at understanding the intrinsic basis for enzyme stabilization at high temperat… Show more
