Synthesis of Short-Chain Alkyl Butyrate through Esterification Reaction Using Immobilized Cutinase and Analysis of Substrate Specificity through Molecular Docking.

Alkyl butyrate with fruity flavor is known as an important additive in the food industry. We synthesized various alkyl butyrates from various fatty alcohol and butyric acid using immobilized cutinase (cut). Esterification reaction was performed in a non-aqueous system including heptane, isooctane, hexane, and cyclohexane.

Functional production, characterization, and immobilization of a cold-adapted cutinase from Antarctic Rhodococcus sp.

A lipolytic enzyme (Rcut) was discovered from the Rhodococcusstrain (RosL12) isolated from the Antarctic Ross Sea. The corresponding gene composed of 651 bases encoding 216 amino acids. It was found to be a cutinase gene through BLAST search.

Characterization of Novel Salt-Tolerant Esterase Isolated from the Marine Bacterium sp. 39-G1.

An esterase gene, , was cloned from sp. 39-G1 isolated from the Beaufort Sea. The gene is composed of 1,140 nucleotides and codes for a 41,190 Da protein containing 379 amino acids.

Forming-less and Non-Volatile Resistive Switching in WO by Oxygen Vacancy Control at Interfaces.

Resistive switching devices are recognized as candidates for next-generation memory devices in that they can replace conventional memory devices. In these devices, a WO film deposited by RF magnetron sputtering with a significant number of oxygen vacancies exhibits a resistive switching property and does not involve the use of a forming process. The resistive switching mechanism involves the hopping of electrons through the sub-band states of the oxygen vacancies in E-field-driven electromigration.
