Cofactor-dependent enzyme catalysis in functionalized ionic solvents

Chem Commun (Camb). 2004 Nov 21:(22):2570-1. doi: 10.1039/b410467f. Epub 2004 Sep 29.

Abstract

Functionalized, hydrogen-bonding ionic liquids have been successfully evaluated as media for the performance of cofactor-dependent enzyme catalysed oxidations; the effects of incorporating hydroxyl groups into both the cation and anion have been studied and the dependence of activity upon water content has been evaluated.
