INTRODUCTION
Lipase (EC 3.1.1.3) is a ubiquitous enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of fats and oil. The Serratia marcescens lipase is recognized for its excellent enantioselectivity in biocatalytic hydrolysis of trans-3-(4-methoxyphynyl) glycidic acid methyl ester [(±)-MPGM] to produce (2R, 3S)-3-(4-methoxyphenyl) glycidic acid methyl ester [(-)-MPGM].
DESCRIPTION
Recombinant Immobilized Serratia marcescens Lipase-A is expressed in E.Coli having a Mw of 65 kDa is purified by standard chromatography techniques.
SOURCE
Escherichia Coli.
