Abstract

A semipurified lipase of Candida cylindradea (LS)-easily obtained from commercial crude lipase (LC)-is used in the enantioselective hydrolysis of (R, S) 2-arylpropionates. The semipurification treatment diminishes the lipase activity more than the esterase activity. The addition of lactose (24 h) increases both activities. LS is more active than LC-at the same amount of protein-in hydrolysis of (R, S) 2-aryl propionates. This semipurification showed ...
