1.1.1.184 2-propanol increases conversion, giving the conversion of 90% compared to 9% in control at a substrate concentration of 70 mM in 1 h. Operational stability increases at higher temperatures with the addition of 2-propanol in the reaction mixture with good conversion (90%) and enantiomeric excess (more than 99%) at 45°C and 50°C. It may be used as a co-substrate for the bioreduction reaction, which may help in widening its applicability in terms of substrate tolerance, reduced time of conversion, increased conversion rate and thermostability 696788 1.1.1.184 anionic detergents e.g. SDS and sarkosyl stimulate 347757 1.1.1.184 EDTA activtion to 112% activity 721912 1.1.1.184 EDTA up to 112% of initial activity 721912 1.1.1.184 fatty acids with carbon chain length greater than nine at pH 7.0 activate, e.g. arachidonic acid 347757 1.1.1.184 hexane activity retention is highest in the presence of hexane, reaction shows maximum conversion and enantiomeric excess of 96 and more than 99%, respectively in 15%, v/v hexane with 2-propanol as the cosubstrate 696788 1.1.1.184 additional information CR expression is upregulated in brains suffering from Alzheimer’s disease 667427 1.1.1.184 additional information for free cells, activity retention is low in ethanol, butanol and benzyl alcohol 696788
