摘要:
Chymotrypsin (EC 3.4.21.1) powder suspended in hexane in the presence of Na2CO3.10H2O is a good catalyst for peptide synthesis. The salt hydrate releases water to fix the thermodynamic water activity of the system in accord with its dissociation pressure. Salt hydrates can be useful to buffer water activity in mainly organic enzyme reaction mixtures at a value permitting activity of the catalyst while minimising hydrolytic side reactions.
