Fibrous proteins: At the crossroads of genetic engineering and biotechnological applications.

abstract：:We investigated the enzymic activity of bilirubin oxidase when it is suspended as a lyophilized powder in a low-water system. The enzyme required buffer salts and a source of water to show activity. This study investigated the complete range of water thermodynamic activity (a(w)) by combining the use of salt hydrates ...
