Lipase-catalysis in non-standard organic solvents
Over the last few years, there has
been a dramatic increase in the number of publications in the field of lipase-catalyzed reactions performed in common standard
organic solvents. A fairly large percentage of these publications have emerged from organic chemists who have recognized the
potential of Biocatalysis as a viable and popular technique in organic synthesis, specially in the production of homochiral
molecules and pharmaceutical compounds.
We have published many papers in this field and we continue to explore modern kinetic resolution
on the miniaturization level using micro-reactors and new chiral stationary phase for the high-throughput screening of the
enantioselectivity of tested enzymes.
