Abstract
Noncovalent complexes were formed by lyophilization of aqueous solutio ns containing horse liver alcohol dehydrogenase, NAD(+) and a polymer [ethyl cellulose or poly(vinyl butyral)]. The complexes expressed high er specific catalytic activity in organic solvents as compared to a co rresponding amount of enzyme deposited on to Celite or lyophilized enz yme powder. The noncovalent complexes were soluble in toluene. In buty l acetate and methyl t-butyl ether, suspensions of fine particles were formed.
