摘要
Co-lyophilization with ligands and lyoprotectants markedly activated horseradish and soybean peroxidases in the oxidation of guaiacol in organic solvents (Dai & Klibanov (1999) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA96: 9475–9478). However, such excipients gave little or no activation of these enzymes in non-specific reactions, sulfoxidation of thioanisole and epoxidation of styrene, presumably because they do not require a precise fine tuning of the enzyme active site.
