✦ Synopsis

Three procedures were employed to identify salt hydrates which were efficient water donors to dry tyrosinase suspended in a substrate solution in chloroform or toluene. Three salts (Na2SOa'10HEO, Na2HPOa'12H20 and Na2CO3"10H20) were effective activators Whereas eleven others were ineffective. It was concluded that the thermodynamic water activity (aw) of the hydrate was the major determinant controlling enzyme activity.

## Abstract A combinatorial experimental technique was used to identify salts and salt mixtures capable of activating penicillin amidase in organic solvents for the transesterification of phenoxyacetate methyl ester with 1‐propanol. Penicillin amidase was lyophilized in the presence of various chlo
