Application

Esterase from Bacillus subtilis is used in protein engineering research and is utilized to study the kinetic resolution of acetates of arylaliphatic tertiary alcohols.

Biochem/physiol Actions

An esterase is a hydrolase that splits esters into acids and alcohols.

Packaging

Enzyme-catalyzed kinetic resolutions of secondary alcohols are a standard procedure today and several lipases and esterases have been described to show high activity and enantioselectivity. In contrast, tertiary alcohols and their esters are accepted only by a few biocatalysts. Only
