Phospholipase A2 Catalyses in Organic Media

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/S0040-4039(00)91974-9

Phospholipase A2 catalyses in organic solvents with low water content are described.First, the effect of the different organic media on the hydrolysis of phosphatidylcholine catalyzed by phospholipase A2 is discussed.Second, the effect of temperature on the hydrolysis of phosphatidylcholine catalyzed by phospholipase A2 in chloroform with low water content is discussed.Finally, a novel transacylation of lysophosphatidylcholine catalyzed by phsopholipase A2 with long-chain acyl donors in chloroform with low water content is reported.
