Controlling lipase stereoselectivity via the surface pressure.

Controlling Infiltration Pressure of a Nanoporous Silica Gel via Surface Treatment

While it has been a well-known fact that a certain amount of energy would be dissipated as a liquid flows in a channel, not until recently with the development of nanoporous technology did this phenomenon receive wide attention for energy absorption applications. For instance, it was noticed that as water moved from compressive parts of a hydrophilic nanoporous silica to tensile parts, consider...

Controlling stereoselectivity of solid-state photoreactions by co-crystal formation.

An external heavy-atom effect in crystals was found to influence the reaction path of the photocyclization of cyclohexenones drastically, and that was successfully applied to control the cis-trans stereochemistry of the reaction by making co-crystals of heavy-atom containing and non-containing analogues in various ratios.

The Effect of Humidity and Compactional Pressure on the Wheat Germ Lipase Activity

The use of proteins and peptides as human therapeutics has been increased in recent years. Lipase is a relatively homogeneous proteinaceous enzyme indicated in maldigestion. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the effect of humidity along with compactional pressure on the enzymatic activity of wheat germ lipase. Samples of lipase powder were kept at different relative humidity (RH)...
