Effect of ions and other compatible solutes on enzyme activity, and its implication for biocatalysis using ionic liquids

Author: Zhao, H.

Description: The effect of ions on enzyme activity and stability usually follows the Hofmeister series (or the kosmotropicity order): kosmotropic anions and chaotropic cations stabilize enzymes while chaotropic anions and kosmotropic cations destabilize them. The effect of ionic liquids (ILs) on the enzyme activity/stability/enantioselectivity is complicated especially when there is no or little water presence in the IL media. However, when aqueous solutions of hydrophilic ILs are employed as reaction media, the enzyme seems to follow the Hofmeister series since ILs dissociate into individual ions in water.
