Description_x000D_ Application_x000D_ Lipases are used industrially for the resolution of chiral compounds and the transesterification production of biodiesel._x000D_ Packaging_x000D_ 100000 units in glass bottle_x000D_ 1000000 units in poly bottle_x000D_ Biochem/physiol Actions_x000D_ Lipases catalyze the hydrolysis of esters in aqueous solutions and the synthesis of esters in non-aqueous solutions. They also produce hydroxyl and carboxylic groups through the hydrolysis of ester linkages in poly(ethylene terephthalate)._x000D_ Lipases catalyze the hydrolysis of triacylglycerols into glycerol and free fatty acids._x000D_ Unit Definition_x000D_ One unit will hydrolyze 1.0 microequivalent of fatty acid from a triglyceride in 1 hr at pH 7.7 at 37 °C using olive oil._x000D_ Analysis Note_x000D_ Protein determined by biuret.
