Perchlorate salts confer psychrophilic characteristics in α-chymotrypsin
Abstract Studies of salt effects on enzyme activity have typically been conducted at standard temperatures and pressures, thus missing effects which only become apparent under non-standard conditions. Here we show that perchlorate salts, which are found pervasively on Mars, increase the activity of...
