β¦ Synopsis
The V,, and KM of various forms of lipase from Pseudomonas cepacia ( powder, adsorbed onto Celite or covalently linked to polyethylene glycol ) were determined in organic solvents preequilibrated to water activities ( a, ) from ~0.1 to 0.84. The model reaction was the transesterification between n-octanol and vinyl butyrate. It was found that Ki,., for the nucleophile increased with increasing a, for all three lipase forms. V,, increased with increasing a, for polyethylene glycol-lipase, whereas there was an optimum at intermediate a, values ( 0.11 -0.38 ) for lipase powder and Celite-immobilized lipase.
