The effect of water added in the kinetic resolution of rac-ketoprofen with ethanol catalyzed with Candida antarctica lipase B was investigated under reaction conditions and at a molecular level. The reaction was performed at 45 oC for 24 h with the commercial biocatalyst known as Novozym 435. The a...
