β¦ Synopsis
By rotating nng-dlsk expenments, the competition was studled between the anodlc decomposition of the GaP electrode and the stablhzatlon of this electrode by ferrous Ions m aqueous electrolytes ~th and wlthout 4 M LlCl added From the results, it follows that a different compehtlon mechanism 1s operatmg m the two media, leadmg to a substantial improvement of the stablhzatlon m the presence of 4 M LKJl These effects are attnbuted to the decreased water actlvlty m the 4 M LlCl solution, causing a shift m the eqmhbnum of a surface chemical reaction step of the multxqmvalent anodx decomposltlon reaction

The degree of enzyme hydration is the one of the most important factors which can affect enzyme activity and stability in water-limited environments. Alcohol dehydrogenase from baker's yeast (YADH) has been used as a model enzyme to study the effects of hydration on activity, stability, and cofactor
A free energy barrier AF+ = 174.2 kJ/mol for the self-exchange electron transfer reaction model Fe+/Fe2+ in water has been calculated by combining Monte Carlo simulations and the statistical perturbation theory. We have shown that, even for those electron transfer reactions that present a very high
The adsorption of water by alcohol dehydrogenase from baker's yeast (YADH) has been measured in a continuousflow gas reactor at varying temperatures. Adsorption isotherms in the presence of gaseous organic substrates are compared to those from organic-free gas mixtures. Almost no effect of the hydro
