Abstract

The search for a new, efficient, cheaper and sustainable matrix for lipase immobilization is a growing area in biotechnology. Amano lipase from Pseudomonas fluorescens was immobilized on silk fibroin spheres and used in the enzymatic kinetic resolution of halohydrins, to obtain optically active epoxides (up to 99% ee), important precursors in the synthesis of derivative antifungal azoles. This paper reinforces the versatility of silk fibroin as a support for heterogeneous catalysts. (AU)
