Organic-Solvent-Tolerant Carboxylic Ester Hydrolases for Organic Synthesis

Organic Solvent Tolerant Lipases and Applications

Lipases are a group of enzymes naturally endowed with the property of performing reactions in aqueous as well as organic solvents. The esterification reactions using lipase(s) could be performed in water-restricted organic media as organic solvent(s) not only improve(s) the solubility of substrate and reactant in reaction mixture but also permit(s) the reaction in the reverse direction, and oft...

Carboxylic ester hydrolases of rat pancreatic juice.

An attempt was made to establish the number and characteristics of the enzymes in pancreatic juice that hydrolyze nitrogen- and phosphorus-free esters of fatty acids. For this purpose model compounds were hydrolyzed by lyophilized rat pancreatic juice under conditions that accelerated or inhibited the reactions. Although it is not established with certainty, it is suggested that three enzymes a...

The Solvent Selection framework: solvents for organic synthesis, separation processes and ionic-organic synthesis

This paper presents a systematic integrated framework for solvent selection and solvent design. The framework is divided into several modules, which can tackle specific problems in various solvent-based applications. In particular, three modules corresponding to the following solvent selection problems are presented: 1) solvent selection and design for organic synthesis, 2) solvent screening an...

Nanopapers for organic solvent nanofiltration.

Would it not be nice to have an organic solvent nanofiltration membrane made from renewable resources that can be manufactured as simply as producing paper? Here the production of nanofiltration membranes made from nanocellulose by applying a papermaking process is demonstrated. Manufacture of the nanopapers was enabled by inducing flocculation of nanofibrils upon addition of trivalent ions.
