Abstract
Bacillus sp. HR-08 screened from soil samples of Iran, is capable of producing proteolytic enzymes. 16S rDNA analysis showed that this strain is closely related to Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus licheniformis, Bacillus pumilus, Bacillus mojavensis, and Bacillus atrophaeus. The zymogram analysis of the crude extract revealed the presence of five extracellular proteases. One of the proteases was purified in three steps procedure involving ammonium sulfate precipitation, DEAE-Sepharose ionic exchange and Sephacryl S-200 gel filtration chromatography. The molecular mass of the enzyme on SDS-PAGE was estimated to be 29 kDa. The protease exhibited maximum activity at pH 10.0 and 60 degrees C and was inhibited by PMSF but it was not affected by cysteine inhibitors, suggesting that the enzyme is a serine alkaline protease. Irreversible thermoinactivation of enzyme was examined at 50, 60, and 70 degrees C in the presence of 10 mM CaCl(2). Results showed that the protease activity retains more than 80% and 50% of its initial activity after incubation for 30 min at 60 and 70 degrees C, respectively. This enzyme had good stability in the presence of H(2)O(2), nonionic surfactant, and local detergents and its activity was enhanced in the presence of 20% of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), dimethyl formamide (DMF) and isopropanol. The enzyme retained more than 90% of its initial activity after pre-incubation 1 h at room temperature in the presence of 20% of these solvents. Also, activation can be seen for the enzyme at high concentration (50%, v/v) of DMF and DMSO.

Abstract
A combined approach based on the use of ATR-FT/IR and steady-state fluorescence spectroscopy allowed to shed light on the effects of the additive methoxypolyethylene glycol (MePEG) on the hydration, conformation and dynamic properties of lipase from Burkholderia cepacia dehydrated to form a film. Spectroscopic data show that the additive has little effect on the structure of the protein; however, H/D exchange kinetic and fluorescence anisotropy suggest a more flexible enzyme molecule when in the presence of MePEG. By infrared spectroscopy, we estimated that, after conditioning the films at water activity of 1, the water content in the lipase dehydrated with MePEG is 5.4- and 4.7-fold higher than in the absence of the additive and the additive alone, respectively. Additionally, our infrared data suggest that MePEG acts by hindering intermolecular protein-protein interactions and contributing to increase the accessibility and flexibility of the lipase in the dehydrated solid film. These factors also explain the enhancement of the enzyme catalytic activity (i.e., up to 3.7-fold in neat organic solvent) when in the presence of MePEG. The method and results presented might better address the use of additives for the preparation of enzymes employed in non-aqueous media or of proteins used in a dry form in different fields of biotechnology.

Abstract
A purified alkaline thermo-tolerant bacterial lipase from Bacillus cereus MTCC 8372 was immobilized on a Poly (MAc-co-DMA-cl-MBAm) hydrogel. The hydrogel showed approximately 94% binding capacity for lipase. The immobilized lipase (2.36 IU) was used to achieve esterification ofmyristic acid and isopropanol in n-heptane at 65 degrees C under continuous shaking. The myristic acid and isopropanol when used at a concentration of 100 mM each in n-heptane resulted in formation of isopropyl myristate (66.0 +/- 0.3 mM) in 15 h. The reaction temperature below or higher than 65 degrees C markedly reduced the formation of isopropyl myristate. Addition of a molecular sieve (3 A x 1.5 mm) to the reaction mixture drastically reduced the ester formation. The hydrogel bound lipase when repetitively used to perform esterification under optimized conditions resulted in 38.0 +/- 0.2 mM isopropyl myristate after the 3rd cycle of esterification.

Abstract
In order to investigate the structural distribution responsible for protein psychrophilicity, a systematic comparative analysis of 13 pairs of psychrophilic and mesophilic proteins is reported. Three kinds of residue structural states such as exposed, intermediate and buried were considered for analyzing the structural patterns of single amino acids and amino acids in different groups. The statistical test revealed that higher frequency in exposed state of Ala, higher frequency in intermediate state of His, lower frequency in buried state of Lys, lower frequency in exposed state of Gln, higher frequency in exposed state and in intermediate state of Thr, higher frequency in exposed and intermediate state of tiny and small amino acids groups could be critical factors related with protein psychrophilicity. Such structure-based differences of residual properties would help to develop a strategy for designing psychrophilic proteins.

Abstract
P450 enzymes have attracted the attention of chemists for decades because of their impressive ability to catalyze the hydroxylation of inactivated C--H bonds. However, their use for synthesis in aqueous systems is limited. We report here a survey of the activity of purified human CYP3A4 in the presence of organic solvents or ionic liquids. We show that CYP3A4 tolerates only small amounts (<15 %) of water-miscible organic cosolvents or ionic liquids before its activity toward testosterone drops below detection. [BMIM][PF(6)] in a biphasic system was less detrimental to enzyme activity, with 20 % of the activity remaining in the presence of 15 % of this ionic liquid. CYP3A4 activity in the absence of buffer was only >or=10 % in solvents of the alkane series, with a minimum of 0.85 % water, and with the addition of sucrose and testosterone before enzyme lyophilization. Biphasic solvent systems were more promising, with approximately 85 % of the activity retained.

Abstract
In enzyme-catalyzed reactions, the choice of solvent often has a marked effect on the reaction outcome. In this paper, it is shown that solvent effects could be explained by the ability of the solvent to act as a competitive inhibitor to the substrate. Experimentally, the effect of six solvents, 2-pentanone, 3-pentanone, 2-methyl-2-pentanol, 3-methyl-3-pentanol, 2-methylpentane and 3-methylpentane, was studied in a solid/gas reactor. As a model reaction, the CALB-catalyzed transacylation between methyl propanoate and 1-propanol, was studied. It was shown that both ketones inhibited the enzyme activity whereas the tertiary alcohols and the hydrocarbons did not. Alcohol inhibition constants, K(i)(I) were changed to "K(i)", determined in presence of 2-pentanone, 3-pentanone, and 3-methyl-3-pentanol, confirmed the marked inhibitory character of the ketones and an absence of inhibition of 3-methyl-3-pentanol. The molecular modeling study was performed on three solvents, 2-pentanone, 2-methyl-2-pentanol and 2-methyl pentane. It showed a clear inhibitory effect for the ketone and the tertiary alcohol, but no effect for the hydrocarbon. No change in enzyme conformation was seen during the simulations. The study led to the conclusion that the effect of added organic component on lipase catalyzed transacylation could be explained by the competitive inhibitory character of solvents towards the first binding substrate methyl propanoate.

Abstract
A systematic analysis compared sequence and structural parameters distributions between 13 pairs of psychrophilic and mesophilic proteins for elucidating the cold adaptation parameters. The results of statistical test (t-test) revealed that helical content, tight turn content, disulfide bonds and hydrogen bonds do not show significant difference between psychrophilic and mesophilic proteins. However, it was demonstrated in this study that a larger proportion of open beta-turn in psychrophilic proteins is an effective parameter in specific activity at low temperature. In addition, substitution of amino acids of charged and aliphatic groups with amino acids of tiny and small groups in protein chains, tight turns and alpha-helices in the direction from mesophilic to psychrophilic proteins is one of the mechanisms of low temperature adaptation. Such sequence and structural parameter differences would help to develop a strategy for designing cold-adapted proteins.

Abstract
A comprehensive study of the hydration mechanism of an enzyme in nonaqueous media was done using molecular dynamics simulations in five organic solvents with different polarities, namely, hexane, 3-pentanone, diisopropyl ether, ethanol, and acetonitrile. In these solvents, the serine protease cutinase from Fusarium solani pisi was increasingly hydrated with 12 different hydration levels ranging from 5% to 100% (w/w) (weight of water/weight of protein). The ability of organic solvents to 'strip off' water from the enzyme surface was clearly dependent on the nature of the organic solvent. The rmsd of the enzyme from the crystal structure was shown to be lower at specific hydration levels, depending on the organic solvent used. It was also shown that organic solvents determine the structure and dynamics of water at the enzyme surface. Nonpolar solvents enhance the formation of large clusters of water that are tightly bound to the enzyme, whereas water in polar organic solvents is fragmented in small clusters loosely bound to the enzyme surface. Ions seem to play an important role in the stabilization of exposed charged residues, mainly at low hydration levels. A common feature is found for the preferential localization of water molecules at particular regions of the enzyme surface in all organic solvents: water seems to be localized at equivalent regions of the enzyme surface independently of the organic solvent employed.

Abstract
The enzymatic hydrolysis of a mixture of lutein diesters from Marigold flower (Tagetes erecta) was performed both in organic solvents and supercritical CO(2) (SC-CO(2)) using two commercial lipases: lipase B from Candida antarctica (Novozym 435) and the lipase from Mucor miehei (Lipozyme RM IM). Both lipases showed an unexpected dependence of initial reaction rate with the initial water activity (a(wi)) in hexane, with the highest rates of hydrolysis taking place at the lowest a(wi) of the biocatalyst particles. The same result was observed using isooctane, toluene, or SC-CO(2). It is proposed that an increase in a(wi) generates a hydrophilic microenvironment that prevents efficient partitioning of the highly hydrophobic lutein diesters to the enzyme. The critical role of water in this system has not been reported for other hydrolytic reactions in low water media. Calculations of water available for hydrolysis from isotherm analysis, Karl-Fischer titration, and substrate conversion at a(wi) = 0.13, indicate that the extent of reaction is not limited by the amount of available water. Accordingly, the enzyme that holds the largest amount of water after prehydration at the same a(wi) (0.13) will yield the greatest substrate conversion and concentration of the free lutein product. The highest conversion occurred in SC-CO(2), which opens up new opportunities to develop a combined extraction-reaction process for the environmentally benign synthesis of lutein, an important nutraceutical compound.

Abstract
A comparative study was made of Novozym 435-catalyzed regioselective acylation of 1-beta-D-arabinofuranosylcytosine with vinyl propionate for the preparation of the 5'-O-monoester in eleven co-solvent mixtures and three pure polar solvents. Novozym 435 displayed low or no acylation activity toward 1-beta-D-arabinofuranosylcytosine in pure polar solvents, although those solvents can dissolve the nucleosides well. When a hexane-pyridine co-solvent system was adopted, both the initial rate and the substrate conversion were enhanced markedly. The polarity of co-solvent mixtures had significant effect on the reaction. Among the solvent mixtures investigated, the higher the polarity of the solvent mixture, the lower the initial reaction rate and the substrate conversion. It was also found that the acylation was dependent on the hydrophobic solvent content, the water activity and the reaction temperature. The most suitable co-solvent, initial water activity, and reaction temperature were hexane-pyridine (28:72, v/v), 0.07, and 50 degrees C, respectively. Under these conditions, the initial rate, the substrate conversion and the regioselectivity were as high as 91.1 mM h(-1), >97% and >98%, respectively, after a reaction time of 6 h. Among the reaction mediums examined, the lowest apparent activation energy was achieved with hexane-pyridine (28:72, v/v), in which Novozym 435 also exhibited good thermal stability.

Abstract
The present study evaluated the influence of water activity and lactose concentration on the synthesis of galactooligosaccharides (GOS), by means of a hyperthermophilic beta-glycosidase in an organic system. The production of GOS gradually grew as water activity increased in the reaction system; later, their synthesis decreased as water activity increased. The authors used the response surface methodology to study how different water activities and different concentrations of lactose influenced the synthesis of GOS and their length. In every case, the variable that proved to have the greatest effect on GOS synthesis was water activity. Maximum GOS3 synthesis was reached at a water activity interval of 0.44-0.57, with lactose concentrations of 0.06%-0.1%, while GOS4 and GOS5 maxima were reached at water activity intervals of 0.47-0.57 and 0.49-0.60, respectively. The research showed that higher water activity was required to synthesize GOS of greater length. Synthesis of GOS would then depend on the flexibility of the enzyme, which in turn would depend on water activity of the reaction system. This hypothesis was supported by experiments in which the reaction temperature was modified in order to change the flexibility of the enzyme, thus leading to longer GOS.

Abstract
Water plays an important role in enzyme structure and function in aqueous media. That role becomes even more important when one focuses on enzymes in low water media. Here we present results from molecular dynamics simulations of surfactant-solubilized subtilisin BPN' in three organic solvents (octane, tetrahydrofuran, and acetonitrile) and in pure water. Trajectories from simulations are analyzed with a focus on enzyme structure, flexibility, and the details of enzyme hydration. The overall enzyme and backbone structures, as well as individual residue flexibility, do not show significant differences between water and the three organic solvents over a timescale of several nanoseconds currently accessible to large-scale molecular dynamics simulations. The key factor that distinguishes molecular-level details in different media is the partitioning of hydration water between the enzyme and the bulk solvent. The enzyme surface and the active site region are well hydrated in aqueous medium, whereas with increasing polarity of the organic solvent (octane --> tetrahydrofuran --> acetonitrile) the hydration water is stripped from the enzyme surface. Water stripping is accompanied by the penetration of tetrahydrofuran and acetonitrile molecules into crevices on the enzyme surface and especially into the active site. More polar organic solvents (tetrahydrofuran and acetonitrile) replace mobile and weakly bound water molecules in the active site and leave primarily the tightly bound water in that region. In contrast, the lack of water stripping in octane allows efficient hydration of the active site uniformly by mobile and weakly bound water and some structural water similar to that in aqueous solution. These differences in the active site hydration are consistent with the inverse dependence of enzymatic activity on organic solvent polarity and indicate that the behavior of hydration water on the enzyme surface and in the active site is an important determinant of biological function especially in low water media.

Abstract
An alcohol dehydrogenase from the hyperthermophilic archaeon Aeropyrum pernix was activated by water-miscible organic solvents. This activation was influenced by the kind and the concentration of the added organic solvents. The k(cat) was increased by a factor of over ten when the mole fraction of acetonitrile was 0.1. This effect was large when organic solvents with large log P values were added. In fact, the k(cat) showed a strong positive correlation with the log P value of the mixed solvent at a constant mole fraction of water, while it was not affected by the kind of organic solvents added. Both the activation enthalpy and the entropy decreased with an increase in log P. The contribution of the activation enthalpy to the free energy of activation was larger than that of the activation entropy, and the free energy of activation decreased with an increase in log P.

Abstract
Enzyme catalyzed esterification reactions have found many applications, ranging from the modification of vegetable oils for human consumption to the production of optically pure chemicals. To displace the equilibrium in favor of synthesis, rather than hydrolysis, these reactions are performed in non-aqueous or microaqueous media. The influence of the amount of water, and of the nature of organic solvent, are new parameters to consider in the optimization of industrial processes. They also add a new perspective to our knowledge of the functioning of enzymes.

Abstract
The enzymatic esterifications of beta-methylglucoside with acrylic acid/methacrylic acid were carried out using Novozym 435. t-Butanol indicating the highest conversion value was determined as an optimal solvent. The molar ratio (beta-methylglucoside:acids) of 1:15 was most favorable to the esterification. The enzyme concentration of 5% (w/v), and the temperature (50 degrees C for beta-methylglucoside:acrylic acid, 45 degrees C for beta-methylglucoside:methacrylic acid) resulted in the highest final conversion. Beta-methylglucoside of 60gl(-1) was found to be most effective in terms of short reaction time as well as product concentrations. Under these conditions, the maximum conversions for the esterification of beta-methylglucoside with acrylic acid and beta-methylglucoside with methacrylic acid were 59.3% after 12h and 71.3% after 72h, respectively. The structural analysis of the products was performed by FT-IR spectroscopy and (1)H NMR.

Abstract
We studied the reaction between vinyl butyrate and 2-phenyl-1-propanol in acetonitrile catalyzed by Fusarium solani pisi cutinase immobilized on zeolites NaA and NaY and on Accurel PA-6. The choice of 2-phenyl-1-propanol was based on modeling studies that suggested moderate cutinase enantioselectivity towards this substrate. With all the supports, initial rates of transesterification were higher at a water activity (a(w)) of 0.2 than at a(w) = 0.7, and the reverse was true for initial rates of hydrolysis. By providing acid-base control in the medium through the use of solid-state buffers that control the parameter pH-pNa, which we monitored using an organo-soluble chromoionophoric indicator, we were able, in some cases, to completely eliminate dissolved butyric acid. However, none of the buffers used were able to improve the rates of transesterification relative to the blanks (no added buffer) when the enzyme was immobilized at an optimum pH of 8.5. When the enzyme was immobilized at pH 5 and exhibited only marginal activity, however, even a relatively acidic buffer with a pK(a) of 4.3 was able to restore catalytic activity to about 20% of that displayed for a pH of immobilization of 8.5, at otherwise identical conditions. As a(w) was increased from 0.2 to 0.7, rates of transesterification first increased slightly and then decreased. Rates of hydrolysis showed a steady increase in that a(w) range, and so did total initial reaction rates. The presence or absence of the buffers did not impact on the competition between transesterification and hydrolysis, regardless of whether the butyric acid formed remained as such in the reaction medium or was eliminated from the microenvironment of the enzyme through conversion into an insoluble salt. Cutinase enantioselectivity towards 2-phenyl-1-propanol was indeed low and was not affected by differences in immobilization support, enzyme protonation state, or a(w).

Abstract
The influence of the addition of an extra component in a gaseous reaction medium, on the kinetics of alcoholysis of methyl propionate and n-propanol catalyzed by immobilized lipase B from Candida antarctica was studied in a continuous solid/gas reactor. In this reactor, the solid phase is composed of a packed enzymatic sample, which is percolated by gaseous nitrogen, simultaneously carrying gaseous substrates and additional components to the enzyme while removing reaction products. The system permits to set thermodynamic activity of all gaseous components (substrates or not) independently at the desired values. This allows in particular to study the influence of an extra added component at a constant thermodynamic activity value, contrary to classical solid/liquid system, which involves large variations of thermodynamic activity of added solvent, when performing full kinetic studies. Alcohol inhibition constant (K(I)) and methyl propionate and propanol dissociation constants (K(MP) and K(P)) have been determined in the solid/gas reactor in the presence of 2-methyl-2-butanol, and compared with values previously obtained in the absence of added component and in the presence of water. Complementary experiments were carried out in the presence of an apolar compound (hexane) and led to the conclusion that the effect of added organic component on lipase-catalyzed alcoholysis is related to their competitive inhibitory character towards first substrate methyl propionate. The comparison of data obtained in liquid or with gaseous 2-methyl-2-butanol shows that lower K(MP) and K(I) are found in gaseous medium, which would correspond on the one hand to a lower acylation rate k(2), and on the other hand to a higher binding rate k(1) between substrate and free enzyme in gaseous medium.

Abstract
Protein structure and dynamics in nonaqueous solvents are here investigated using molecular dynamics simulation studies, by considering two model proteins (ubiquitin and cutinase) in hexane, under varying hydration conditions. Ionization of the protein groups is treated assuming "pH memory," i.e., using the ionization states characteristic of aqueous solution. Neutralization of charged groups by counterions is done by considering a counterion for each charged group that cannot be made neutral by establishing a salt bridge with another charged group; this treatment is more physically reasonable for the nonaqueous situation, contrasting with the usual procedures. Our studies show that hydration has a profound effect on protein stability and flexibility in nonaqueous solvents. The structure becomes more nativelike with increasing values of hydration, up to a certain point, when further increases render it unstable and unfolding starts to occur. There is an optimal amount of water, approximately 10% (w/w), where the protein structure and flexibility are closer to the ones found in aqueous solution. This behavior can explain the experimentally known bell-shaped dependence of enzyme catalysis on hydration, and the molecular reasons for it are examined here. Water and counterions play a fundamental and dynamic role on protein stabilization, but they also seem to be important for protein unfolding at high percentages of bound water.

Abstract
Marigold flowers are the most important source of carotenoids for application in the food industry. However, the extraction gives almost 50% losses of the carotenoids depending on conditions for silaging, drying, and solvent extraction. In the past decades, macerating enzymes have been successfully applied to improve the extraction yield of valued compounds from natural products. In this work, an alternative extraction process for carotenoids is proposed, consisting of a simultaneous enzymatic treatment and solvent extraction. The proposed process employs milled fresh flowers directly as raw material, eliminating the inefficient silage and drying operations as well as the generation of hard to deal with aqueous effluents present in traditional processes. The process developed was tested at the 80 L scale, where under optimal conditions a carotenoid recovery yield of 97% was obtained.

Abstract
A mutant of the cysteine protease papain, displaying nitrile hydratase and amidase activities, was expressed in Pichia pastoris and used for the hydrolysis of peptide nitriles in aqueous-organic media. The rate of hydrolysis of these nitriles is lowered by increasing acetone concentration. This is caused by an increase of the Michaelis constant, and a variation of Vmax proportional to the amount of water in the mixture. The hydrolysis of the amide is less affected by the increase in co-solvent, which results in lower accumulation of this intermediate product. With the peptide nitrile tested, high nitrile concentrations could be used to promote the production of the amide and prevent its hydrolysis to the acid by diminishing the relative rate of amide hydrolysis. A number of non-peptidyl nitriles were also tested as potential substrates but activity was detected for only one compound with structural resemblance to peptide nitriles.

Abstract
Zeolite molecular sieves very commonly are used as in situ drying agents in reaction mixtures of enzymes in nonaqueous media. They often affect enzyme behavior, and this has been interpreted in terms of altered hydration. Here, we show that zeolites can also have dramatic acid-base effects on enzymes in low water media, resulting from their cation-exchange ability. Initial rates of transesterification catalyzed by cross-linked crystals of subtilisin were compared in supercritical ethane, hexane, and acetonitrile with water activity fixed by pre-equilibration. Addition of zeolite NaA (4 A powder) still caused remarkable rate enhancements (up to 20-fold), despite the separate control of hydration. In the presence of excess of an alternative solid-state acid-base buffer, however, zeolite addition had no effect. The more commonly used Merck molecular sieves (type 3 A beads) had similar but somewhat smaller effects. All zeolites have ion-exchange ability and can exchange H+ for cations such as Na+ and K+. These exchanges will tend to affect the protonation state of acidic groups in the protein and, hence, enzymatic activity. Zeolites pre-equilibrated in aqueous suspensions of varying pH-pNa gave very different enzyme activities. Their differing basicities were demonstrated directly by equilibration with an indicator dissolved in toluene. The potential of zeolites as acid-base buffers for low-water media is discussed, and their ability to overcome pH memory is demonstrated.

Abstract
The effect of water activity (a(w)) and immobilization on fatty acid (FA) selectivity of Burkholderia (formerly Pseudomonas) cepacia, Rhizomucor miehei, Candida antarctica (type B), and Candida rugosa lipases in esterification reactions was determined. Studies were based on measuring ester formation in multicompetitive reaction mixtures containing either the homologous series of even carbon number n-chain saturated FA (C4-C18) or a series of n-chain (un)saturated FA (C18:X, where X = 0-3 double bonds) as cosubstrates with 1,3-propanediol in ter-butyl methyl ether at a(w) of 0.19, 0.69, and 0.90. Activity and FA selectively patterns were similar for free and Celite-adsorbed lipases in response to changes in a(w'), although specific effects were observed for selectivity of B. cepacia and C. rugosa lipases toward C16 and C4/C6 FA, respectively. Also, selectivity toward unsaturated C18:X FA as a group was modulated by changes in a(w) for three of the four lipase studied. Resin-fixed lipases from R. miehei and C. antarctica exhibited profound differences in activity and FA selectively in response to changes in a(w'), relative to free and Celite-bound forms. These findings suggest that FA selectivity for lipid modification is influenced by a(w) and immobilization, but that each lipase has a characteristic response to these factors in a manner that cannot be predicted.
