Abstract
The process of biodiesel production from corn oil catalyzed by lipozyme TL IM, an inexpensive 1,3-position specific lipase from Thermomyces lanuginosus was optimized by response surface methodology (RSM) and a central composite rotatable design (CCRD) was used to study the effects of enzyme dosage, ratio of t-butanol to oil (v/v) and ratio of methanol to oil (mol/mol) on the methyl esters (ME) yield of the methanolysis. The optimum combinations for the reaction were 25.9U/goil of enzyme, 0.58 volume ratio of t-butanol to oil and 0.5, 0.5, 2.8 molar equivalent of methanol to oil added at the reaction time of 0, 2, and 4h, respectively, by which a ME yield of 85.6%, which was very close to the predicted value of 85.0%, could be obtained after reaction for 12h. Waste oil was found to be more suitable feedstock, and could give 93.7% ME yield under the optimum conditions described above. Adding triethylamine (TEA), an acyl migration enhancer, could efficiently improve the ME yield of the methanolysis of corn oil, giving a ME yield of 92.0%.

Abstract
For the first time, lipozyme TL IM, an inexpensive lipase from Thermomyces lanuginosa, was successfully applied to the regioselective synthesis of lipophilic 5-fluorouridine ester derivatives. The ESI-MS and (13)C NMR analysis confirmed that the end products of the acylation were 5'-O-acyl 5-fluorouridines, more powerful anti-tumor drugs than 5-fluorouridine itself. Notably, the chain length of acyl donors had an obvious effect on the initial rate and the maximum substrate conversion of the regioselective acylation. The acylation of 5-fluorouridine with vinyl laurate was used as a model to explore the influence of various factors on the reaction with respect to the initial rate, the maximum substrate conversion and the regioselectivity. The optimum water activity, the molar ratio of vinyl laurate to 5-fluorouridine, reaction temperature and shaking rate were 0.07, 15/1, 45 degrees C and 200rpm, respectively, under which the maximum substrate conversion and the regioselectivity were as high as 98.4 and >99%, respectively, after a reaction time of around 6h.

Abstract
Immobilized Candida antarctica lipase B (Novozym 435)-catalyzed enantioselective hydrolysis of D,L-phenylglycine methyl ester to enatiopure D-phenylglycine was successfully conducted in the systems with ionic liquids (ILs). Novozym 435 exhibited excellent activity and enantioselectivity in the system containing the IL BMIMxBF(4) compared to several typical organic solvents tested. It has been found that the cations and, particularly, the anions of ILs have a significant effect on the reaction, and the IL BMIMxBF(4), which shows to be the most suitable for the reaction, gave the highest initial rate and enantioselectivity among various ILs examined. The reaction became much less active and enantioselective in the systems with BMIMxHSO(4). Also, it was noticed that the enzymatic hydrolysis was strongly dependent on BMIMxBF(4) content in the co-solvent systems and the favorable content of the IL was 20% (v/v). Of the assayed four co-solvents and phosphate buffer, the lowest apparent K(m) and activation energy, and the highest V(max) of the reaction were achieved using 20% (v/v) BMIMxBF(4) co-solvent with phosphate buffer. Additionally, various influential variables were investigated. The optimum pH, substrate concentration, reaction temperature and shaking rate were 8.0, 80mM, 25-30 degrees Celsius and 150rpm, respectively, under which the initial rate, the residual substrate e.e. and the enantioselectivity were 2.46mM/min, 93.8% (at substrate conversion of 53.0%) and 38, respectively. When the hydrolysis was performed under reduced pressure, the initial rate (2.64mM/min) and the enantioselectivity (E=43) were boosted.

Abstract
A comparative study was made of Novozym 435-catalyzed regioselective acylation of 1-beta-D-arabinofuranosylcytosine with vinyl propionate for the preparation of the 5'-O-monoester in eleven co-solvent mixtures and three pure polar solvents. Novozym 435 displayed low or no acylation activity toward 1-beta-D-arabinofuranosylcytosine in pure polar solvents, although those solvents can dissolve the nucleosides well. When a hexane-pyridine co-solvent system was adopted, both the initial rate and the substrate conversion were enhanced markedly. The polarity of co-solvent mixtures had significant effect on the reaction. Among the solvent mixtures investigated, the higher the polarity of the solvent mixture, the lower the initial reaction rate and the substrate conversion. It was also found that the acylation was dependent on the hydrophobic solvent content, the water activity and the reaction temperature. The most suitable co-solvent, initial water activity, and reaction temperature were hexane-pyridine (28:72, v/v), 0.07, and 50 degrees C, respectively. Under these conditions, the initial rate, the substrate conversion and the regioselectivity were as high as 91.1 mM h(-1), >97% and >98%, respectively, after a reaction time of 6 h. Among the reaction mediums examined, the lowest apparent activation energy was achieved with hexane-pyridine (28:72, v/v), in which Novozym 435 also exhibited good thermal stability.

Abstract
Efficient enantioselective acylation of (R,S)-1-trimethylsilylethanol {(R,S)-1-TMSE} with vinyl acetate catalyzed by immobilized lipase from Candida antarctica B (i.e., Novozym 435) was successfully conducted in ionic liquids (ILs). A remarkable enhancement in the initial rate and the enantioselectivity of the acylation was observed by using ILs as the reaction media when compared to the organic solvents tested. Also, the activity, enantioselectivity, and thermostability of Novozym 435 increased with increasing hydrophobicity of ILs. Of the six ILs examined, the IL C4MIm.PF6 gave the fastest initial rate and the highest enantioselectivity, and was consequently chosen as the favorable medium for the reaction. The optimal molar ratio of vinyl acetate to (R,S)-1-TMSE, water activity, and reaction temperature range were 4:1, 0.75, and 40 -50 degrees C, respectively, under which the initial rate and the enantioselectivity (E value) were 27.6 mM/h and 149, respectively. After a reaction time of 6 h, the ee of the remaining (S)-1-TMSE reached 97.1% at the substrate conversion of 50.7%. Additionally, Novozym 435 was effectively recycled and reused in C4MIm.PF6 for five consecutive runs without substantial lose in activity and enantioselectivity. The preparative scale kinetic resolution of (R,S)-1-TMSE in C4MIm.PF6 is shown to be very promising and useful for the industrial production of enantiopure (S)-1-TMSE.

Abstract
The cleavage of mandelonitrile catalysed by hydroxynitrile lyases (HNL) from Prunus amygdalus (PaHNL) and Manihot esculenta (MeHNL) proceeded more rapidly in monophasic aqueous media containing 1-propyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate [C4MIm][BF4] than in media containing acetonitrile or THF. Both HNLs were much more thermostable in [C4MIm][BF4] than in acetonitrile or THF. The addition of each of the four ionic liquids 1-butyl-, 1-pentyl- and 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborates at 2-6% (v/v in the aqueous phase) increased both the enzyme activity and the product e.e. in the PaHNL-catalysed transcyanation in an aqueous/DIPE biphasic system. However, MeHNL was inactivated by the ionic liquids, as indicated by the decreased reaction rate, substrate conversion and product e.e.

Abstract
The synthesis of optically active (R)-2-trimethylsilyl-2-hydroxyl-ethylcyanide by asymmetric trans-cyanation of acetyltrimethylsilane with acetone cyanohydrin in a biphasic system was achieved using (R)-oxynitrilase from loquat seed meal. Diisopropyl ether was the most suitable organic phase among the organic solvents examined. The optimal concentration of acetyltrimethylsilane, concentration of crude enzyme, volume ratio of the aqueous to the organic phase, temperature and the buffer pH value were 14 mM: , 61.4 U ml-1, 13% (v/v), 30 degrees C and 4, respectively. The substrate conversion and the product enantiomeric excess were 95% and 98% under the optimized conditions. Acetyltrimethylsilane was a better substrate of the enzyme than its carbon counterpart.

Abstract
(S)-Hydroxynitrile lyase from Manihot esculenta (MeHNL) was shown for the first time to be able to catalyze the enantioselective transcyanation of acetyltrimethylsilane (ATMS) with acetone cyanohydrin to form (S)-2-trimethylsilyl-2-hydroxyl-propionitrile in an aqueous/organic biphasic system. To better understand the reaction, various influential variables were examined. The most suitable organic phase, optimal buffer pH, aqueous phase content, shaking rate, temperature, concentration of ATMS, acetone cyanohydrin and crude enzyme were diisopropyl ether (DIPE), 5.4, 13% (v/v), 190 rpm, 40 degrees C, 10 mM, 20 mM, and 35 U/ml, respectively, under which the initial reaction rate, substrate conversion and product enantiomeric excess (e.e.) were 19.5 mM/h, 99.0% and 93.5%, respectively. A comparative study demonstrated that silicon atoms in the substrate had a great effect on the reaction, and that ATMS was a much better substrate for MeHNL than its carbon analogue 3,3-dimethyl-2-butanone (DMBO) with respect to the initial reaction rate, substrate conversion and product e.e. MeHNL has greater affinity towards ATMS than its carbon analogue as indicated by the much lower K(m). The activation energy of MeHNL-catalyzed transcyanation of ATMS was also markedly lower than that of DMBO. The silicon effect on the reaction was rationalized on the basis of the special characteristics of silicon atoms and the catalytic mechanism of MeHNL.

Abstract
A novel reaction-enzymatic ammonolysis discovered in the mid of 1990s has been demonstrated to be a very promising alternative in the preparation of optically pure compounds. The effects of organic solvent, initial water activity, temperature and additives on lipase Novozym435-catalyzed enantioselective ammonolysis of racemic phenylglycine methyl ester were investigated systematically in this paper. Enzymatic reaction of ammonolysis showed higher activity and enantioselectivity than the corresponding reaction of hydrolysis and alcoholysis.

Abstract
Stereoselective dehydrogenation of three isomers of trimethylsilylpropanol was carried out with horse liver alcohol dehydrogenase (HLADH, EC 1.1.1.1.) and optically active organosilicon compounds were obtained in a water-organic solvent two-layer system with coenzyme regeneration. Furthermore, we examined the effects of the silicon atom on stereoselectivity of HLADH compared to the corresponding carbon compounds. Substitution of the silicon atom for the carbon atom was found to improve the stereoselectivity of HLADH. For example, the optical purity of the remaining 1-trimethylsilyl-2-propanol was higher than 99% enantiomeric excess (ee) at 50% conversion, whereas that of the carbon analogue was 84% ee. This phenomenon was probably ascribable to the bulkiness of the organosilicon compounds derived from their longer Si-C bond. Kinetic analysis in an aqueous monolayer system demonstrated that the specific properties of the silicon atom greatly affected the reactivity of these substrate compounds.
