In an enzymatic synthesis of cephalexin (CEX) using an acylase from Xanthomonas citri, the effect of polyethylene glycol (PEG) on the synthetic reaction of Zamino-3-deacetoxycephalosporanic acid (FADCA) and D-alpha-phenylglycine methyl ester (PGM) to CEX was investigated. The addition of PEG (MW 300

## Abstract A cascade of two enzymatic transformations is employed in a oneβpot synthesis of cephalexin. The nitrile hydratase (from __R. rhodochrous__ MAWE)βcatalyzed hydration of Dβphenylglycine nitrile to the corresponding amide was combined with the penicillin G acylase (penicillin amidohydrola
A technique of continuous water activity control was used to examine the effects of water activity on enzyme catalysis in organic media. Esterification catalyzed by Rhizopus arrhizus lipase was preferably carried out at a water activity of 0.33, which resulted in both maximal initial reaction rate a
## Abstract The change in the activity of glucose oxidase subjected to an asymmetrical alternating current (AC) electric field is investigated via horseradish peroxidase (HRP)βcoupled bioassay. The effect of the amplitude, frequency and enzyme concentration have been shown to affect the enzyme acti
