Abstracts

EN

Pig liver esterase (PLE) is widely used as a biocatalyst in organic synthesis. The model of PLE catalytic center is discussed. Simple experimental procedure providing gram quantity of this enzyme is introduced. General aspects of PLE reactivity and selectivity are presented. The most representative chemical reactions catalyzed by PLE are shown on selected examples.
