Mechanistic insights into the liquefaction stage of enzyme-mediated biomass deconstruction.

abstract：:The addition of simple inorganic salts to aqueous enzyme solutions prior to lyophilization results in a dramatic activation of the dried powder in organic media relative to enzyme with no added salt. Activation of both the serine protease subtilisin Carlsberg and lipase from Mucor javanicus resulting from lyophilizati...
