Lipase B from Candida antarctica Immobilized on Epoxy-functionalized Hollow Silica Microspheres: Efficient Biocatalysts for Enantiomer Selective Acylation of Alcohols and Amines
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Hollow silica microspheres with promising physical properties (MAT540TM) as support for enzyme immobilization and biocatalyst were investigated in this study. The amine-functionalized MAT540TM was activated by six bisepoxides inclosing different spacers and used as epoxy-functionalized carrier for immobilization of lipase B from Candida antarctica (CaLB). The novel, covalently fixed CaLB biocatalysts were compared in kinetic resolution (KR) of racemic 1-phenyethanol rac-1 and five racemic amines rac-3a-e using shaken flasks and continuous-flow packed-bed microreactors. Mechanic stability, re-usability and the effect of temperature (0–90 °C) on productivity and enantiomer selectivity of the covalently immobilized CaLB were investigated. The best performing CaLB biocatalyst showed good mechanic stability after 24 h operation time in continuous-flow mode at 60 °C and provided in KRs of racemic 1-phenyethanol rac-1 with vinyl acetate and of five racemic amines with isopropyl 2-ethoxyacetate as acylating agent the non-reacted (S)-alcohol [(S)-1] or (S)-amines [(S)-3a-e] and the forming (R)-ester [(R)-2] or (R)-amide [(R)-4a-e] in good yields with high enantiomeric excess (ee > 99 %, for all).

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
