LITERATURE
BFD is stabilized by increasing water activity
-
significant stabilizing effect of thiamin diphosphate and Mg2+
-
the activity of the spherical silica-immobilized BFD A460I-F464I variant is determined to be 70% related to the activity of the free enzyme
The freeze-drying of immobilized Sepabeads EC-EA/BFD leads to an inactivation of the enzyme.
-
the wild type BFD has about 100% enzyme activity after 24 h incubation in 50 mM KPi-buffer without thiamine diphosphate
-
the wild type enzyme shows no loss of activity in cofactor-free buffer over 24 h
-
urea, less than 4 M, reversibly inactivates, thiamin diphosphate protects
-
