The synthesis of L-tyrosine glyceryl ester, from glycerol and L-tyrosine methyl ester, was carried out by a transesterification reaction catalyzed by a-chymotrypsin. Values of 60 % (v/v) for glycerol and 200 mM for L-tyrosine methyl ester were optimal for the transesterification reaction. Additional

The effects of 18-crown-6 on the synthesis of peptides catalyzed by ␣-chymotrypsin are reported. Lyophilization of the enzyme in the presence of 50 equivalents of 18-crown-6 results in a 425-fold enhanced activity when the reaction between the 2-chloroethylester of N-acetyl-L-phenylalanine and L-phe
Immobilized a-chymotrypsin was used as catalyst to synthesize a kyotorphin derivative (Bz-Tyr-Arg-OEt) in the presence of five water-miscible aprotic solvents (dimethylsulphoxide, dimethylformamide, acetonitrile, acetone and tetrahydrofurane) at 30 °C. By using a kineticallycontrolled approach, the
