Formate dehydrogenase from Candida boidinii (CboFDH) catalyses the oxidation of formate anion to carbon dioxide with concomitant reduction of NAD+ to NADH. CboFDH is highly specific to NAD+ and virtually fails to catalyze the reaction with NADP+. Based on structural information for CboFDH, the loop region between β‐sheet 7 and α‐helix 10 in the dinucleotide‐binding fold was predicted as a principal determinant of coenzyme specificity. Sequence alignment with other formate dehydrogenases revealed two residues (Asp195 and Tyr196) that could account for the observed coenzyme specificity. Positions 195 and 196 were subjected to two rounds of site‐saturation mutagenesis and screening and enabled the identification of a double mutant Asp195Gln/Tyr196His, which showed a more than 2 × 107‐fold improvement in overall catalytic efficiency with NADP+ and a more than 900‐fold decrease in the efficiency with NAD+ as cofactors. The results demonstrate that the combined polar interactions and steric factors comprise the main structural determinants responsible for coenzyme specificity. The double mutant Asp195Gln/Tyr196His was tested for practical applicability in a cofactor recycling system composed of cytochrome P450 monooxygenase from Bacillus subtilis, (CYP102A2), NADP+, formic acid and ω‐(p‐nitrophenyl)dodecanoic acid (12‐pNCA). Using a 1250‐fold excess of 12‐pNCA over NADP+ the first order rate constant was determined to be equal to kobs = 0.059 ± 0.004 min−1.

i. From here on k is a ground field, k = k, char k = 0. Let G be a connected simplyconnected semisimple group; 0 be its representation in kn = V without nonzero fixed points; k[V] G be the subalgebra of G-invariants in the algebra k[V] of polynomials on V; V/G and ~: V + V/G be the variety of orbits and the orbit morphism [I]; mG be the maximum of the numbers dim p(G).v, v ~ V. The k[V]G-module k[V] is called the module of covariants.

The first section of this paper is focused on Jordan groups in abstract setting, the second on that in the settings of automorphisms groups and groups of birational self-maps of algebraic varieties. The appendix contains formulations of some open problems and the relevant comments.

Octaheme nitrite reductase from the haloalkaliphilic bacterium Thioalkalivibrio paradoxus was isolated and characterized. A comparative structural and functional analysis of two homologous octaheme nitrite reductases from closely related Thioalkalivibrio species was performed. It was shown that both enzymes have similar catalytic properties, owing to high structural similarity. Both enzymes are characterized by specific structural features distinguishing them from pentaheme cytochrome c nitrite reductases, such as the Tyr‐Cys bond in the active site, the hexameric structure resulting in the formation of a void space inside the hexamer, and the product channel that opens into the void interior space of the hexamer. It is suggested that these specific structural features are responsible for the higher nitrite reductase activity, the greater preference for nitrite than for sulfite as a substrate, and the wider pH range of the catalytic activity of octaheme nitrite reductases than of pentaheme homologs.

We prove the following: (1) the existence, for every integer n ≥ 4, of a noncompact smooth n-dimensional topological manifold whose diffeomorphism group contains an isomorphic copy of every finitely presented group; (2) a finiteness theorem for finite simple subgroups of diffeomorphism groups of compact smooth topological manifolds.
