Rational redesign of Candida antarctica lipase B
This thesis describes the use of rational redesign to modify the properties of the enzyme Candida antarctica lipase B. Through carefully selected single-point mutations, we were able to introduce substrate-assisted catalysis and to alter the reaction specificity. Other single-point mutations afforded variants with greatly changed substrate selectivity and enantioselectivity. Mutation of the cat...
متن کاملCandida antarctica lipase B-catalyzed synthesis of poly(butylene succinate): shorter chain building blocks also work.
Lipase catalysis was successfully employed to synthesize high molecular weight poly(butylene succinate) (PBS). Attempts to copolymerize succinic acid with 1,4-butanediol were unsuccessful due to phase separation of the reactants. To circumvent this problem, monophasic reaction mixtures were prepared from diethyl succinate and 1,4-butanediol. The reactions were studied in bulk as well as in solu...
متن کاملConcentration effect of hydrophilic ionic liquids on the enzymatic activity of Candida antarctica lipase B.
A systematic study of the effects of hydrophilic ionic liquids concentration and nature (alkyl chain length and type of anion) on the activity of Candida antarctica lipase B is here reported. The increase in the concentration of the studied ionic liquids is shown to cause a decrease of the enzyme activity, but the effect is dependent on the ionic liquid used. This behavior is partially due to t...
متن کاملA novel self-activation mechanism of Candida antarctica lipase B.
Candida antarctica lipase B (CalB), resembling many other lipases structure-wise, contains a flexible lid that undergoes a surprisingly large conformational change when catalyzing hydrophobic substrates (e.g. triglycerides). Despite extensive and important applications in industry, it is so far still elusive whether CalB can be activated on a hydrophobic surface, like other lipases. From large-...
متن کاملImmobilization of Candida antarctica lipase B on Polystyrene Nanoparticles.
Polystyrene (PS) nanoparticles were prepared via a nanoprecipitation process. The influence of the pH of the buffer solution used during the immobilization process on the loading of Candida antarctica lipase B (Cal-B) and on the hydrolytic activity (hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl acetate) of the immobilized Cal-B was studied. The pH of the buffer solution has no influence on enzyme loading, while ...
