Exploring Metagenomic Enzymes: A Novel Esterase Useful for Short-Chain Ester Synthesis

Enzyme-mediated esterification reactions can be a promising alternative to produce esters of commercial interest, replacing conventional chemical processes. The aim of this work was to verify the potential of an esterase for ester synthesis. For that, recombinant lipolytic enzyme EST5 was purified a...
