Structure - function correlation in lipase catalysed esterification reactions of short and medium carbon chain length alcohols and acids

摘要

An attempt has been made to correlate the carbon chain lengths of acids and alcohols to the extent of esterification in the Rhizomucor miehei lipase catalyzed esterification reactions involving acids of carbon chain length C_2 - C_5 and alcohols of carbon chain length C_1 - C_8.
