Enzymatic Modification of Pomace Olive Oil with Natural Antioxidants: Effect on Oxidative Stability
Biomolecules, 2023 Enzymatic lipophilization has been proposed as a cost-effective strategy to produce new liposoluble antioxidant compounds. In this study, modified oils rich in structured phenolipids were prepared via one-pot enzymatic acylation of hydroxytyrosol (HTYR),

Lipoamidase is a multiple hydrolase [PDF]
Biochemical Journal, 1990 The substrate specificity of lipoamidase, purified from the pig brain membrane with lipoyl 4-aminobenzoate (LPAB) as a substrate, was extensively studied. This single polypeptide was found to hydrolyse the bonding between amide, ester and peptide compounds. However, stringent structural requirements were found in the substrates, e.g.

Evolutionary divergence and functions of the human acyl-CoA thioesterase gene (
Human Genomics, 2010 The acyl-CoA thioesterase gene (ACOT) family encodes enzymes that catalyse the hydrolysis of acyl-CoA thioester compounds, also known as activated fatty acids, to their corresponding non-esterified (free) fatty acid and coenzyme A (CoASH).

Mammalian soluble epoxide hydrolase is identical to liver hepoxilin hydrolase [PDF]
Journal of Lipid Research, 2011 Hepoxilins are lipid signaling molecules derived from arachidonic acid through the 12-lipoxygenase pathway. These trans-epoxy hydroxy eicosanoids play a role in a variety of physiological processes, including inflammation, neurotransmission, and formation of skin barrier function.

A fast, miniaturised in-vitro assay developed for quantification of lipase enzyme activity
Journal of Enzyme Inhibition and Medicinal Chemistry, 2019 The discovery of allosteric modulators is a multi-disciplinary approach, which is time- and cost-intensive. High-throughput screening combined with novel computational tools can reduce these factors. Thus, we developed an enzyme activity assay, which can
