knowledge of the enzyme–additive interactions and to validate the modelling studies, new ammonium-based additives were designed and tested. The hydrophobic interaction resulted in being critical to improving superactivation, with [(2,3,5,6-tetramethyl-p-phenylene)dimethylene]bis[triethylammonium bromide] (bisEDuEAB) resulting as the most effective quaternaryammonium superactivating agent studied so
