AbstractYeast alcohol dehydrogenase (YADH) showed substantial decrease in its catalytic activity due to the strong electrostatic interaction between the head groups of sodium bis(2-ethylhexyl) sulfosuccinate (AOT) and YADH in AOT reverse micelles. However, the catalytic activity of YADH in a nonionic reverse micellar interface (GGDE/TX-100) obtained from a functional nonionic surfactant N-gluconyl glutamic acid didecyl ester (GGDE) and Triton X-100 (TX-100) was higher than that in AOT reverse micelle under the respective optimum conditions. A comparison of the kinetic parameters showed that the turnover number kcat in GGDE/TX-100 reverse micelle was 1.4 times as large as that in AOT reverse micelle, but the Michaelis constants in AOT reverse micelle for ethanol K mB was twice and for coenzyme NAD+ K mA was 5 times higher than their counterparts in GGDE/TX-100 reverse micelle. For the conversion of ethanol, the smaller K mB and larger kcat in GGDE/TX-100 reverse micelle resulted in higher catalytic efficiency kcat/K mB. The stability of YADH in GGDE/TX-100 reverse micelle was also found to be better than that in AOT reverse micelle. They were mainly attributed to the absence of electric charge on the head groups of GGDE and TX-100 in the GGDE/TX-100 reverse micelle.

In this work, all the rate constants in the kinetic mechanism of the yeast alcohol dehydrogenase-catalyzed oxidation of ethanol by NAD+, at pH 7.0, 25 ?C, have been estimated. The determination of the individual rate constants was achieved by fitting the reaction progress curves to the experimental data, using the procedures of the FITSIM and KINSIM software package of Carl Frieden. This work is the first report in the literature showing the internal equilibrium constants for the isomerization of the enzyme-NAD+ complex in yeast alcohol dehydrogenase-catalyzed reactions.

In this work, the binding of coenzymes to yeast alcohol dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.1) were investigated. The main criterions were the change in the standard free energies for individual reaction steps, the internal equilibrium constants and the overall changes in the reaction free energies. The calculations were performed for the wild type enzyme at pH 6-9 and for 15 different mutant type enzymes, with single or double point mutations, at pH 7.3. The abundance of theoretical and experimental data enabled the binding of coenzymes to enzyme to be assessed in depth.

The calcium phosphate tungsten bronze (Ca-PWB) has been synthesized and characterized (TGA, DSC, XRPD, FTIR, SEM). The influence of solid insoluble materials Ca- PWB, as well as lithium doped (Li-PWB) and cation free phosphate tungsten (PWB) bronzes on the oscillatory Briggs-Rauscher (BR) reaction dynamics, is compared. The results show that doping with Li and Ca reduces sensitivity of the BR reaction towards bronzes addition. These findings suggest the usage of the BR reaction as an innovative method for testing of different properties of bronze material. The behavior of PWB in the BR reaction is significantly changed with divalent cation (Ca2+) doping. The reasons for the different bronzes behavior were found in their calculated unit cell volumes. Namely, the compressed Ca-PWB unit cell volume indicates the difficult availability of the active site for heterogeneous catalysis. Hence, the linear correlation (slope) of the BR oscillogram?s length (?osc) vs. mass of bronze in BR reaction might be considered as a new parameter for the evaluation of the bronzes catalytic activity.
