Immobilization of Candida rugosa lipase on hydrophobic/strong cation-exchange functional silica particles for biocatalytic synthesis of phytosterol esters.

TL;DR: In this work, mixed-mode silica particles functionalized with octyl and sulfonic acid groups was conveniently prepared by co-bonding a mixture of n-octyltriethoxysilane and 3-mercaptopropyltriethylene and then oxidized with hydrogen peroxide to produce immobilized Candida rugosa lipase (CRL), which increased remarkably its stability at high temperature in comparison to free CRL.
