Textile processing with enzymes:-
Examples of enzyme cofactors and their roles
Cofactor Role
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide Oxidation/reduction
(NAD+, NADP+). reactions [those involving transfer of H- (hydride) ion]
Flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) . Oxidation/reduction reactions.
Flavin mononucleotides (FMN). Oxidation/reduction reactions .
Biotin Carboxyl group transfer.
Cobalamin Methyl group transfer.
Coenzyme A (CoA) Transfer of groups, e.g. acetyl.
Thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP) Acetaldehyde transfer.
Tetrahydrofolate (THF) One-carbon transfer reactions.
Pyridoxal phosphate Transamination and decarboxylation
reactions.

relationship between the primary amino acid sequence and its higher structural
conformation can be obtained. Site-directed mutagenesis is also a
valuable tool for studying structural and functional relationships of
enzymes and for enhancing the attributes for commercially important
enzymes.The catalytic capabilities of several enzymes have been improved
by changes to the amino acids forming the active sites. Other studies have
shown that it is possible to improve temperature and pH stability of
enzymes. For example, introduction of cysteine residues into the polypeptide
chain tends to enhance protein stability through disulfide bond formation.
Replacement of lysine with arginine in a polypeptide chain also tends
to enhance enzyme stability through increase in the extent of overall hydrogen
bonding. Ultimately, continuing advances in this field could facilitate
routine de-novo design of enzymes to suite particular applications; the
‘Holy Grail’ of applied enzymology!
The advances made in molecular biology and the associated research
equipment have accelerated DNA sequence determination and large portions
of the genome of several species have been sequenced. This genomic
information will increasingly drive future trends in enzymology – within the
emerging fields of proteomics and bioinformatics – leading to greatly
improved understanding of structure, function and expression of newly discovered
proteins.
