Abstract

One of the challenges in the field of biocatalysis is the search for efficient reaction media avoiding enzyme deactivation. This work shows for the first time that water + hydrophilic ionic liquids mixtures enhance (up to 50%) the enzymatic activity of lipases, opening new opportunities for enzyme extraction and biocatalysis.
