TLDR
6-O-Monoesters of alkyl glucopyranosides have been prepared on a large scale in a more than 90% yield by direct enzyme-catalysed esterification of glucopyrsides with long chain fatty acids in a solvent-free process.

The sequence, crystal structure determination and refinement of two crystal forms of lipase B from Candida antarctica.

TL;DR: The structure of Candida antarctica lipase B shows that the enzyme has a Ser-His-Asp catalytic triad in its active site, which accounts for the substrate specificity and high degree of stereospecificity of this lipase.

One Biocatalyst–Many Applications: The Use of Candida Antarctica B-Lipase in Organic Synthesis

TL;DR: The C. antarctica B-lipase is an example of an enzyme for which its specificity has been predicted based on the crystal structure and modeling of the active site region and a very close correlation is found.

Polymer Synthesis by In Vitro Enzyme Catalysis

TL;DR: Microbial polymers are synthesized from renewable low-cost feedstocks, and the polymerizations operate under mild process conditions with minimal environmental impact, providing products that, when disposed, can degrade to nontoxic products.

Solvent-Free Organic Syntheses.

TL;DR: Examples are presented which show that solvent-free reactions are not only of interest from an environmental viewpoint, but also offer considerable advantages in terms of yield, selectivity, and simplicity of the reaction procedures.
