General description
Lipase from Thermomyces lanuginosus (TLL) is a basophilic, single-chain protein and thermostable enzyme. It belongs to the alpha/beta-hydrolase fold family. TLL is roughly spherical and is made up of a central eight-stranded β-parallel sheet with five interconnecting α-helices.
Application
Lipase, immobilized on Immobead 150 from Thermomyces lanuginosus has been used as a biocatalyst to study ultrasound-assisted transesterification of a blend of non-edible oils with methanol. It has also been used as a catalyst in the synthesis of medium chain fatty acids (MCFA) and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) rich oils by enzymatic structuring of flax seed oil.
Lipases are used industrially for the resolution of chiral compounds and the transesterification production of biodiesel.
Biochem/physiol Actions
It participates in catalyzing the hydrolysis of triglycerides at the water-lipid interface and produces mono-, di-glycerides, and free fatty acids. Due to its versatility, this enzyme is applicable in various industries including, detergents, paper, leather, baking, fine chemicals, fuel, and biocatalysts.
Lipases catalyze the hydrolysis of triacylglycerols into glycerol and free fatty acids.
