Kf. Hsiao et al., KINETIC-STUDY OF DEACETYLATION AND ACETYL MIGRATION OF PERACETYLATED 1-METHYL ALPHA,BETA-D-GLUCOPYRANOSIDES BY CANDIDA LIPASE-CATALYZED HYDROLYSIS, Bioorganic & medicinal chemistry letters, 4(13), 1994, pp. 1629-1632
Peracetylated 1-methyl alpha,beta-D-glucopyranosides (1 and 2) were hy
drolyzed by Candida lipase and 6-OH, 4-OH and 4,6-OH derivatives were
obtained. A kinetic study revealed that the reaction was a consecutive
irreversible three-stage reaction including one acetyl migration and
two enzymatic deacetylation reactions. The three rate constants were m
easured and theoretical profiles for predicting the amount of products
and substrates against reaction time were determined.
