Catalysis of iron core formation in Pyrococcus furiosus ferritin

The hollow sphere-shaped 24-meric ferritin can store large amounts of iron as a ferrihydrite-like mineral core. In all subunits of homomeric ferritins and in catalytically active subunits of heteromeric ferritins a diiron binding site is found that is commonly addressed as the ferroxidase center (FC). The FC is involved in the catalytic Fe(II)...

Primary amide synthesis from carboxylic acids with a lipase

The invention relates to a method of preparing a reaction product such as a primary amide, by means of two reagents A and B, which reagents form a salt that impedes fast conversion. The concentrations of the reagent A and the reagent B are chosen such that they comply with formula (I) wherein [A]T represents the concentration of the first...
