Activity of lipases and esterases towards tertiary alcohols: insights into structure-function relationships.

Hydrolytic enzymes are versatile biocatalysts and find increasing applications in organic synthesis and a considerable number of industrial processes using these enzymes have been commercialized. Within this class, lipases (E.C. 3.1.1.3) and carboxyl esterases (E.C. 3.1.1.1) are frequently used as they accept a broad range of non-natural substrates, are usually very stable in organic solvents and exhibit good to excellent stereoselectivity.
