摘要
Recent developments have enhanced the prospects for the discovery of hyperthermophilic enzymes. This is important because the intrinsic basis underlying the extraordinary thermostability of hyperthermophilic enzymes has yet to be revealed, and so engineering this characteristic into less thermophilic enzymes is not possible at this time. Successful efforts to clone and express the genes encoding hyperthermophilic enzymes in mesophilic hosts have improved the availability of high-temperature biocatalysts. The remaining task is the identification of opportunities to make strategic use of the thermoactivity and thermostability of hyperthermophilic enzymes.
