  • Enantioselective epoxide hydlrolase and method for preparing and enantiopure epoxide using the same
    Patent number: 8030048
    Abstract: The present invention relates to enantioselective epoxide hydrolase proteins isolated from marine microorganisms, which has high enantioselectivity to various epoxide substrates, and a method of preparing the epoxides with high enantio-purity by using the epoxide hydrolases. The enantioselective hydrolase protein of the present invention can be applied for the preparation of enantiopure epoxides with high bioactivity at a high yield.

  • Bioluminescent organism for detecting toxic substances
    Publication number: 20010034039
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a bioluminescent organism for detecting toxic substances, specifically to a microorganism YH9-RC which shows very sensitively change in the degree of luminescence when it contacts toxic substances, a method for detecting toxic substances using the changes in the degree of luminescence of the microorganism, and a kit for detecting toxic substances. Toxic substances of very low concentration can be detected using the luminescent organism YH9-RC of the present invention.
