The amino acid sequence of the encoded protein is only distantly related to previously studied enzymes (identity 33-43\%) and exhibited some uncharted peculiarities. An N-terminally StrepII-tagged enzyme variant was purified and initially characterized. The isolated enzyme catalyzed the (R)-specific oxidation of (R,R)- and meso-butane-2,3-diol to (R)- and (S)-acetoin with specific activities of 12 U/mg and 23 U/mg, respectively. Likewise, racemic acetoin was reduced with a specific activity of up to 115 U/mg yielding a mixture of (R,R)- and meso-butane-2,3-diol, while the enzyme reduced butane-2,3-dione (Vmax 74 U/mg) solely to (R,R)-butane-2,3-diol via (R)-acetoin. For these reactions only activity with the co-substrates NADH/NAD+ was observed. The enzyme accepted a selection of vicinal diketones, α-hydroxy ketones and vicinal diols as alternative substrates. Although the physiological function of the enzyme in B. clausii remains elusive, the data presented herein clearly demonstrates that the encoded enzyme is a genuine (R,R)-butane-2,3-diol dehydrogenase with potential for applications in biocatalysis and sensor development.}, language = {en} } @article{SelmerYuBlaseretal.2006, author = {Selmer, Thorsten and Yu, Lihua and Blaser, Martin and Andrei, Paula I.}, title = {4-Hydroxyphenylacetate decarboxylases: properties of a novel subclass of glycyl radical enzyme systems / Yu, L. ; Blaser, M. ; Andrei, PI. ; Pierik, AJ.

The biosensor array comprises five working electrodes for simultaneous sensing of ethanol, formate, d-lactate, and l-lactate, and an integrated counter electrode. Storage stability of the biosensor was evaluated under different conditions (stored at +4 °C in buffer solution and dry at -21 °C, +4 °C, and room temperature) over a period of 140 days. After repeated and regular application, the individual sensing electrodes exhibited the best stability when stored at -21 °C. Furthermore, measurements in silage samples (maize and sugarcane silage) were conducted with the portable biosensor system. Comparison with a conventional photometric technique demonstrated successful employment for rapid monitoring of complex media.}, language = {en} } @article{SelmerMiechDierksetal.1998, author = {Selmer, Thorsten and Miech, Claudia and Dierks, Thomas and Figura, Kurt von}, title = {Arylsulfatase from Klebsiella pneumoniae Carries a Formylglycine Generated from a Serine / Miech, Claudia ; Dierks, Thomas ; Selmer, Thorsten ; Figura, Kurt von ; Schmidt, Bernd}, series = {Journal of Biological Chemistry. 273 (1998), H. 9}, journal = {Journal of Biological Chemistry. 273 (1998), H. 9}, isbn = {1083-351X}, pages = {4835 -- 4837}, year = {1998}, language = {en} } @article{SelmerJennemannBaueretal.1999, author = {Selmer, Thorsten and Jennemann, Richard and Bauer, Bernhard L. and Bertalanffy, Helmut}, title = {Basidiolipids from Agaricus are novel immune adjuvants / Jennemann, R. ; Bauer, BL. ; Bertalanffy, H. ; Selmer, T. ; Wiegandt, H.}, series = {Immunobiology. 200 (1999), H. 2}, journal = {Immunobiology. 200 (1999), H. 2}, isbn = {0171-2985}, pages = {277 -- 289}, year = {1999}, language = {en} } @article{WernerGroebelSchuhmacheretal.2009, author = {Werner, Frederik and Groebel, Simone and Schuhmacher, K. and Spelthahn, Heiko and Wagner, Torsten and Selmer, Thorsten and Baumann, Marcus and Sch{\"o}ning, Michael Josef}, title = {Bestimmung der metabolischen Aktivit{\"a}t von Mikroorganismen w{\"a}hrend des Biogasbildungsprozesses}, series = {9.
