Biocatalysis CentreThe Exeter Biocatalysis Centre is a Multidisciplinary Centre that has been established to study the structure, mechanism and commercial application of enzymes - 'Natures Catalysts'. Aureobacterium (-) gamma lactamase
The (-) gamma lactamase enzyme can be used as an industrial catalyst to produce optically pure gamma-lactam, a building block for anti-viral drugs, including the anti-HIV drug Ziagen. Solfolobus Glyceraldehyde 3-Phosphate Dehydrogenase
This enzyme is found in the cellular sugar metabolising pathway. The structure shown is that of the hyperthermophilic archaeon Sulfolobus solfataricus which is found in the sulfur fields in Naples, Italy. |
