Effects of chemical modification of lipase on its enantioselectivity in organic solvents
The chemical modification of lipase with the hydrophobic group such as Z (benzyloxycarbonyl) or Z(NO2) (p-nitro-Z) is found to bring about a marked improvement of the enantioselectivity in isopropyl ether and an inversion of the solvent effects on the enantioselectivity.
