Abstract
Hydrolysis of alkanedicarboxylic acid dimethyl esters using esterase f rom Pseudomonas putida MR-2068 gave exclusively pure monoesters. Hydro lytic activities were dependent on the carbon chain length of the subs trates. This esterase also catalysed enantio- and regio-selective hydr olysis of alpha-methylalkanedicarboxylic acid dimethyl esters.
