Human pancreatic carboxylic ester hydrolase (EC 3.1.1.1), usually characterized by its activity on water-soluble substrates, is shown to catalyze reactions taking place at a lipid/water interface. The inhibition of tributyrin hydrolysis by 1-alcohols follows the pattern of a Langmuir adsorption

Lipids in health and disease, 10, 221-221 (2011-11-30)
Bacterial lipases received much attention for their substrate specificity and their ability to function in extreme environments (pH, temperature...). Many staphylococci produced lipases which were released into the culture medium. Reports of thermostable lipases from Staphylococcus sp. and active in

A novel strain of Rhizopus oryzae WPG secretes a noninduced lipase (ROLw) in the culture medium; purified ROLw is a protein of 29 kDa, the 45 N-terminal amino acid residues were sequenced, this sequence is very homologous to Rhizopus delemar

Journal of microencapsulation, 25(3), 179-186 (2008-04-03)
This paper describes the development of a new method to obtain aqueous-core microcapsules from organic-core capsules. The direct production of microcapsules, using tripropionin as organic material, followed by the hydrolysis of the core by a lipase was investigated. The enzymatic

Lipids, 37(7), 653-662 (2002-09-10)
The better to characterize enzymes hydrolyzing carboxyl ester bonds (carboxyl ester hydrolases), we have compared the kinetic behavior of various lipases and esterases against solutions and emulsions of vinyl esters and TAG. Short-chain vinyl esters are hydrolyzed at comparable rates
