Thermophilic Enzymes
Kuchtová, Ludmila ; Obruča, Stanislav (referee) ; Babák, Libor (advisor)
Thermophilic enzymes are produced by organisms living at temperatures between 60 and 80°C, in some cases even higher, and are active and stabile at these temperatures. This work deals with thermophilic and hyperthermophilic organisms, their habitats, ways of adaptation to environment with considerably higher temperatures than optimal temperature for most organisms, and recent findings and opinions about possible factors enhancing protein thermostability. Properties and behaviour of thermophilic enzymes and their current applications (i.e. PCR, starch industry) are summarized. Advantages and disadvantages of using of these enzymes in comparison to currently used mesophilic enzymes are compared. Possible applications of thermozymes in various industrial branches, where they could replace some environment polluting procedures, simplify technology and be economically important, are introduced.
