N. Murakami et al., ENZYMATIC TRANSFORMATION OF GLYCEROGLYCOLIPIDS INTO SN-1 AND SN-2 LYSOGLYCEROGLYCOLIPIDS BY USE OF RHIZOPUS-ARRHIZUS LIPASE, Tetrahedron, 50(7), 1994, pp. 1993-2002
Lipase from Rhizopus arrhizus catalyzed deacylation of two classes of
glyceroglycolipids, monogalactosyl diacylglycerol(MGDG), and digalacto
syl diacylglycerol(DGDG), proceeded regiospecifically to furnish sn-1
lysoglyceroglycolipids quantitatively. The lipase also catalyzed compl
ete acyl migration of sn-1 lysoglycerogalacto-lipids leading to sn-2 l
ysoglycerogalactolipids.
