Construction of a library of human glycosyltransferases immobilized in the cell wall of Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Article Abstract:
A study expressed fifty-one human glycosyltransferases in Saccharomyces cerevisiae as immobilized enzymes and are assayed for enzymatic activities. Results reveal that more than 75% of expressed recombinant glycosyltransferases retained their enzymatic activities in the yeast cell wall fraction and would be used as a human glycosyltransferase library.

Fluidization of membrane lipids enhances the tolerance of Saccharomyces cerevisiae to freezing and salt stress
Article Abstract:
The unsaturated fatty acids present in the cell membrane of Saccharomyces cerevisiae render it the ability to adapt to the external conditions. The increased fluidity of the membrane lipid bilayer of these cells increases the stress resistance to freezing.
