The kinetics of the immobilized lipase B from Candida antarctica have been studied in organic solvents. This enzyme has been shown to be slightly affected by the water content of the organic media, and it does not seem to be subject to mass transfer limitations. On the other hand, some evidence indi

β¦ Synopsis
Lipase-catalyzed transesterifications of cis-and Iran.+4-methylcyclohexanols with vinyl acetate in various organic solvents have been studied, and the cffcct of' solvent on activity and stereoselectivity of lipase has been investigated. Initial rate of the reaction increases with the increase in hydrophobicity of the solvent exerting a good correlation with logf ', a corrected index of IogP. However, since the stereoselectivi~y is also affected by molecularity OC the solvent, the correlation between stereosclcctivity l'actor, y, and log/" is poor. The solvent en'cct on Ihc stcreoselectivity has been correlated with excellent linearity by the aid of two-parameter relationship; y= a(~,-1)/(2&r+]) + bV,, where E, and V, denote dielectric constant and molar volume of the solvent, respectively.
