The synthesis of sugar fatty acid esters (SFAEs) from lignocellulosic biomass and oleic (C18:1) was catalyzed by immobilized-stabilized derivatives Candida antarctica lipase B in a methyl ethyl ketone medium. After steam-explosion pretreatment mixed hardwoods enzymatic hydrolysis at 15%wt solids, xylose glucose were purified/concentrated to mass ratio ~3 1. These sugars superior commercial as t...

Supercritical carbon dioxide is a promising green-chemistry solvent for many enzyme-catalyzed chemical reactions, yet the striking stability of some enzymes in such unconventional environments is not well understood. Here, we investigate the stabilization of the Candida antarctica Lipase B (CALB) in supercritical carbon dioxide-water biphasic systems using molecular dynamics simulations. The pr...

Hybrid nano-biomaterials are exploited in the design and performance of chemo-enzymatic cascades. In this study, lipase is immobilized from Candida antarctica fraction B (CALB) gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) on magnetic particles coated with silica ([email protected]2) to stepwise hydrolyze reduce p-nitrophenyl esters tandem reaction. The assembly two catalysts at interface [email protected]2 temp...
