摘要:
Water soluble .alpha.-ketocarboxylic acids are continuously converted in a membrane reactor into the corresponding aminoacids. The conversion takes place in the presence of a substrate specific dehydrogenase, of ammonium ions and of a nicotinamide-adenine-dinucleotide (NAD.sup.+ /NADH) enlarged in molecular weight through linkage to a water soluble polymer as coenzyme. Simultaneously NADH is regenerated continuously from NAD.sup.+ in presence of a formate dehydrogenase and from formate ion. The membrane must have a mean pore diameter of 1 to 3 nm. As coenzyme there is employed 0.1 to 10 mmol/l of NAD.sup.+ /NADH present bound to a polyoxyethylene having an average molecular weight between 500 and 50,000. There is continuously supplied to the reactor a substrate stream which contains 50 to 100% of the maximum amount soluble, but not over 2,000 mmol/l, of the reacting .alpha.-ketocarboxylic acid in the form of a water soluble salt, an ammonium ion in an amount about equimolar to the amount of substrate and 100 to 6,000 mmol/l of a formate. There is maintained over the membrane a differential pressure of 0.1 to 15 bar. There is continuously drawn off behind the membrane a filtrate stream containing the aminoacid formed.
摘要:
Useful products such as molecular hydrogen can be continuously produced by reacting a solution of a substrate in the presence of light with a photometabolically active microbe which has been stabilized on a support. In one embodiment, Rhodospirillium rubrum bacterial cells are mixed with agar gel and the mixture is spread over a plate which is placed in a transparent flow-through reactor. Then, an aqueous malate solution is passed through the reactor under essentially anaerobic conditions in the presence of light to yield molecular hydrogen. In another embodiment, Blue-Green algae are similarly stabilized for continuous biophotolysis of water by oxidizing the water and reducing NADP to NADPH. Other photosystems for producing useful products are disclosed.
摘要:
A process for preparing nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP) by reacting nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide with adenosine triphosphate in the presence of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) kinase. The NAD kinase may be in the crude form and appreciable quantities of NADP are produced if the reaction takes place in the presence of fluoride and/or an organic sulf-hydral (SH) radical containing reagent. Good production also is achieved if the crude NAD kinase is treated with a mineral acid prior to the reaction. Exceptionally good yields are achieved if an acid-pretreated NAD kinase is used and both fluoride and an SH reagent are present during the reaction.

摘要:
Polynucleotide synthesis performed with a substrate independent polymerase such as terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT) is regulated by controlling the oxidation state of a metal cofactor. The oxidation state of the metal cofactor is changed to +2, thus activating the polymerase, by applying a voltage with electrodes or by introducing a chemical redox reagent. Addressable polynucleotide synthesis creates polynucleotides with different arbitrary sequences through use of spatial control of cofactor oxidation states to add nucleotides only at selected locations on an array. Control of metal oxidation states is regulated by selective activation of a microelectrode array, controlled addition of redox reagents to specific locations on the array, or controlled activation of photocatalysts at specific locations on the array. Scavengers in solution prevent cofactors distant from the selected locations from catalyzing polymerase activity and thereby maintain the localized effect of polymerase activation.
