RE: Pig Liver Esterase: A powerful little Friend of Biochemists
Today I can again provide an interesting insight into my daily work, which arises as part of my current research.Lovely XDD
btw I was curious why dont do a basic ester hydrolysis? I assume the decarboxylation is pretty readily take place under such condition(?)
or actually you are intentionally investigating the enzymatic transformation?
We have lots of lipase in our lab. Let me see if I can find a picture for it XDD
What's wrong with my Intro? 😋
Yes, the decarboxylation ist indeed rather spontaneous. We use the enzyme to perform a soft ester hydroylsis in order not to damage oder unintendedly transform other parts of our substrate. ;-)
Label your molecule with this 🤣🤣 (i used to walk on egg shells too)
I guess it will be hard to print such tiny warning signs. HAHA! :)
