Identification of a novel alkaliphilic esterase active at low temperatures by screening a metagenomic library from Antarctic desert soil
(American Society for Microbiology, 2009)
The cold deserts of the McMurdo Dry Valleys, South Victoria Land, Eastern Antarctica, are widely acknowledged as
having the harshest soil environments on Earth (6, 8, 26).
Despite the apparent hostility of the environment, ...
Post-translational cleavage of recombinantly expressed nitrilase from Rhodococcus rhodochrous J1 yields a stable, active helical form
(Wiley, 2007)
Nitrilases convert nitriles to the corresponding carboxylic acids and ammonia.
The nitrilase from Rhodococcus rhodochrous J1 is known to be inactive
as a dimer but to become active on oligomerization. The recombinant
enzyme ...
