Enzymatic synthesis of fatty esters by alkylated lipase

Lipase from Candida rugosa was chemically modified by reductive alkylation with aldehydes of various chain lengths. The derivatised lipases showed a higher esterification activity compared to native enzyme. The degree of activity enhancement depended on the type and molecular weight of the modifiers...
