  1. 1. Biocatalysis in Pickering emulsions

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Bioteknik (master); Lunds universitet/Bioteknik (CI)

    Author : Christine Vera Isabel Schmidt; [2023]
    Keywords : Enzymes; Pickering emulsion; Amine Transaminases; Green Chemistry; Stereoselectivity; Biotechnology; Biology and Life Sciences;

    Abstract : Employing enzymes as catalysts in the production of chiral amines that are both used as building blocks and active pharmaceutical ingredients might be promising due to milder reaction conditions compared to non-biological catalysts, exclusion of heavy metals, high selectivity towards substrates and precision in chirality of the products. Transaminases are attractive for the use in this process. READ MORE

  2. 2. Development of a Novel Biocatalytic Cascade for the Valorisation of 5-(Hydroxymethyl)furfural

    University essay from KTH/Industriell bioteknologi

    Author : Johannes Johansson; [2022]
    Keywords : Biocatalysis; Enzyme immobilization; 5- Hydroxymethyl furfural; Transaminase; Galactose Oxidase; Biokatalys; Enzym-immobilisering; 5- hydroxymetyl furfural; Transaminas; Galaktosoxidas;

    Abstract : Den nära förestående bristen på fossila resurser i kombination med deras associerade miljöfarlighet betonar behovet av utveckling av alternativa, mer hållbara kemikalier. I denna studie utvecklades en enzymatisk kaskad för förädling av 5-(hydroxymetyl)furfural (HMF) till 5-(aminometyl)-2-furfuraldehyd (AMFA). READ MORE

  3. 3. Biosensor based on immobilized amine transaminase for detection of amphetamine

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

    Author : Clara Öh; [2020]
    Keywords : amine transaminases ATA ; enzyme immobilization; biosensor; covalent immobilization; ionic immobilization; amphetamine; histidine-tagged enzyme; Poly methyl methacrylate PMMA ;

    Abstract : Amine transaminases (ATA) catalyse the transfer of an amino group from one molecule and replaces a ketone or aldehyde with the amino group, the amino group on the amino-donor is replaced with a ketone or aldehyde. This enzyme, ATA from Chromobacterium violaceum, has previously been used to catalyse the reaction involving amphetamine, therefore, it might be possible to use this enzyme to convert amphetamine and the product absorbs in the UV spectrum and can therefore be measured spectrophotometrically.
