Abstract
Enantioselectivity has been observed in the hydrolysis of racemic N-ac etyl amino acid esters with rice bran lipase (RBL). The enzyme shows s electivity towards the (S)-enantiomer. Products with high enantiomeric excess (e.e. > 99%) are obtained depending upon the hydrophobicity of the amino acid as well as that of the leaving group. (C) 1997 Elsevie r Science Ltd.
