Tuning of conformational dynamics through evolution-based design modulates the catalytic adaptability of an extremophilic kinase
(American Chemical Society, 2020)
Conformational flexibility plays a critical role in enzyme function and is a key aspect in transitions from an open to a closed state induced by substrate binding and product release. Psychrophilic enzymes display a high ...
Physiological adaptations of yeasts living in cold environments and their potential applications
(Springer, 2015)
Yeasts, widely distributed across the Earth, have successfully colonized cold environments despite their adverse conditions for life. Lower eukaryotes play important ecological roles, contributing to nutrient recycling and ...
Discovery, Molecular Mechanisms, and Industrial Applications of Cold-Active Enzymes
(Frontiers Media, 2016)
Cold-active enzymes constitute an attractive resource for biotechnological applications. Their high catalytic activity at temperatures below 25 degrees C makes them excellent biocatalysts that eliminate the need of heating ...
Cold-adapted yeasts from Patagonia Argentina
(Universidad Federal de Minas Gerais. Instituto de Ciências Biológicas, 2016-03)
The Patagonian Andes possess a great variety of glaciers, large temperate ice masses, and glacially formed water bodies. Most of these environments are included in protected areas characterized by low anthropogenic impact ...
Antarctic Yeasts as a Source of Enzymes for Biotechnological Applications
(Springer, 2019)
Psychrophilic and psychrotrophic yeasts able to live in extremely cold environments like Antarctica produce cold-active enzymes as part of their metabolic adaptation mechanisms. Some of these enzymes could be used for ...
Identification and characterization of yeasts isolated from the South Shetland Islands and the Antarctic Peninsula
(Springer Verlag, 2017)
© 2016, Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg. Antarctica is considered one of the most extreme environments on Earth because of its low temperatures, dryness, high incidence of solar radiation and low nutrient availability. ...
Cold-adapted enzymes produced by fungi from terrestrial and marine Antarctic environments
(2018-05-19)
Antarctica is the coldest, windiest, and driest continent on Earth. In this sense, microorganisms that inhabit Antarctica environments have to be adapted to harsh conditions. Fungal strains affiliated with Ascomycota and ...
