Abstract:
Disclosed is a method for the enzyme-catalyzed production of (alk)acrylates of general formula (I) by esterifying or transesterifying aryl ketones of general formula (II) with (alk)acrylic acid, an (alk)acrylic acid ester of general formula (III), or an (alk)acrylic acid anhydride of general formula (IIIa) in the presence of an enzyme which catalyzes esterification or transesterification.
Abstract:
A polypeptide with pyruvate decarboxylase activity, derived from the pyruvate decarboxylase from Zymomonas mobilis by substitution of an amino acid in position 553.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for producing a normalized gene library from nucleic acid extracts of soil samples and to the genetic structures and vectors used therein. The invention further relates to the use of the normalized gene library for screening genes that encode novel biocatalysts from soil samples.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for analysing enzyme-catalysed conversions of non-polymer starting materials into non-polymer products, using MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry, preferably in the presence of an internal standard on a special supporting material.
Abstract:

Abstract:
The invention relates to a novel method for the enzymatic synthesis of poly(oxyalkylene)acrylamide as well as the use thereof for synthesizing polymers.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for carrying out the enzymatic synthesis of polyol acrylates, to a method for producing polymeric polyol acrylates, to the polymers that can be obtained according to this method, and to the their use for producing radiation-curable and thermally curable paints.
Abstract:
The invention relates to novel proteins exhibiting esterase activity, in particular butinol I esterase activity, obtained from Pseudomonas glumae and to nucleic acid sequences that code therefor, expression cassettes, vectors and recombinant microorganisms. The invention also relates to a method for producing said proteins and to the use thereof for the enzymatic, in particular, enantioselective ester hydrolysis or interesterification of organic esters.
