β¦ Synopsis
When performing enzyme catalysed reactions in organic solvents the agitation method may have an influence on the result. It has been observed that stirring with magnet bars may cause a considerable decrease in the reaction rate, probably due to damage to the enzyme. This applies to both free and immobilised enzyme. However, use of a shaker or an over-head stirrer does not inactivate the enzyme. ml, i.d. 22 mm) with shaking at 130 strokes pr min (spm) or stirring with 10 or 18 mm teflon-coated magnet bars at 200-1000 'pm. The reactions performed with overhead stirrers were scaled up 10 times.
