Abstract

Abstract During studies on exploiting the catalytic promiscuity of crude porcine pancreas lipase (PPL) in ionic liquid for C [DOUBLE BOND] C bond formations, bovine serum albumin (BSA) was found to be competing for these reactions. After a detailed investigation, we establish that these transformations are possible by unspecific protein catalysis rather than catalytic promiscuity of “PPL”–a first insight into the role of protein impurities in crude ...
