Lipase catalysed kinetic resolution of racemic 1,2-diols containing a chiral quaternary center [PDF]
Optically active 1,2-diols are valuable buildings blocks in organic synthesis. In the present paper, a set of racemic 1,2-diols with an ester functional group are prepared, starting from -ketoesters in a three-step procedure with moderate yields.

Lipase and Its Unique Selectivity: A Mini-Review
Contrary to other solid catalysts, enzymes facilitate more sophisticated chemical reactions because most enzymes specifically interact with substrates and release selective products. Lipases (triacylglycerol hydrolase, EC 3.1.1.3), which can catalyze the

Post-Synthetic Enzymatic and Chemical Modifications for Novel Sustainable Polyesters
Because of their biodegradability, compostability, compatibility and flexible structures, biodegradable polymers such as polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) are an important class of biopolymers with various industrial and biological uses. PHAs are thermoplastic

Lipolysis generates platelet dysfunction after in vivo heparin administration [PDF]
Heparin, when administered to patients undergoing operations using cardiopulmonary bypass, induces plasma changes that gradually impair platelet macroaggregation, but heparinization of whole blood in vitro does not have this effect.
