Enantioselectivity of lipases : Effects of water activity

The enantioselectivity (E) of lipases in esterifications of secondary alcohols with decanoic acid was studied in organic media. The enantioselectivity of 2-octanol differed greatly among the lipases used. Candida antarctica lipase was extremely selective (E= 9 000) while Candida rugosa lipase was mu...
