Description

General description

Lipase from Candida sp or Candida antarctica lipase B (CALB), is a serine hydrolase, which belongs to the α/β hydrolase fold family. It consists of Ser, His, and Asp/Glu catalytic triad and has secondary alcohol binding pocket. Structurally, CALB exists in open and closed conformations and the active site is covered by a small lid. A total of 10 lipases are associated with Candida albicans.

We are committed to bringing you Greener Alternative Products, which adhere to one or more of The 12 Principles of Greener Chemistry. This product has been enhanced for energy efficiency and waste prevention when used in biodiesel research. For more information see the article in biofiles.

Application

Lipase from Candida sp. has been used:

• in Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) conjugate preparation for biophysical studies
• in lipase activity assay
• for immobilization with Immobead-350

Biochem/physiol Actions

Lipase from Candida sp or Candida antarctica lipase B (CALB) is enantiospecific for secondary alcohols. It has wide industrial applications. Lipases, in general, catalyze triacylglycerol synthesis and breakdown. Lipase B from Candida antarctica (CALB) undergoes interfacial activation and is a popular lipase.
