Abstract
Lead (Pb) is a major environmental pollutant that threatens the soil environment and human health. Monitoring and assessing Pb toxicity on soil health are of paramount importance to the public. To use soil enzymes as biological indicators of Pb contamination, herein, the responses of soil β-glucosidase (BG) in different pools of soil (total, intracellular and extracellular enzyme) to Pb contamination were investigated. The results indicated that the intra-BG (intracellular BG) and extra-BG (extracellular BG) responded differently to Pb contamination. While the addition of Pb caused a significant inhibition of the intra-BG activities, the extra-BG activities were only slightly inhibited. Pb showed a non-competitive inhibition to extra-BG, while both non-competitive and uncompetitive inhibition were observed for intra-BG in the tested soils. The dose-response modeling was used to calculate ecological dose ED10, which represents the concentration of Pb pollutant that causes a 10 % reduction in Vmax, to express the ecological consequences of Pb contamination. A positive correlation was found between ecological dose ED10 values of intra-BG and soil total nitrogen (p < 0.05), which suggests soil properties may influence Pb toxicity to soil BG. Based on the differences in ED10 and inhibition rate among different enzyme pools, this study suggests that the intra-BG is more sensitive for Pb contamination assessment. From this, we propose that intra-BG should be considered when evaluating Pb contamination using soil enzymes as indicators.

Abstract
Clopidogrel is a chiral compound widely used as an antiplatelet medication that lowers the risk of blood clots, strokes, and heart attacks. The main aim of the study presented herein was to obtain (S)-clopidogrel, which is commercially available in treatments, via the kinetic resolution of racemic clopidogrel carboxylic acid with the use of lipase from Candida rugosa and a two-phase reaction medium containing an ionic liquid. For this purpose, the enantioselective biotransformation of clopidogrel carboxylic acid and chiral chromatographic separation with the use of a UPLC-MS/MS system were optimized. The best kinetic resolution parameters were obtained by using a catalytic system containing lipase from Candida rugosa OF as a biocatalyst, cyclohexane and [EMIM][BF4] as a two-phase reaction medium, and methanol as an acyl acceptor. The enantiomeric excess of the product was eep = 94.21% ± 1.07 and the conversion was c = 49.60% ± 0.57%, whereas the enantioselectivity was E = 113.40 ± 1.29. The performed study proved the possibility of obtaining (S)-clopidogrel with the use of lipase as a biocatalyst and a two-phase reaction medium containing an ionic liquid, which is in parallel with green chemistry methodology and does not require environmentally harmful conditions.

Abstract
Photoenzymatic decarboxylation shows great promise as a pathway for the generation of hydrocarbon fuels. CvFAP, which is derived from Chlorella variabilis NC64A, is a photodecarboxylase capable of converting fatty acids into hydrocarbons. CvFAP is an example of coupling biocatalysis and photocatalysis to produce alkanes. The catalytic process is mild, and it does not yield toxic substances or excess by-products. However, the activity of CvFAP can be readily inhibited by several factors, and further enhancement is required to improve the enzyme yield and stability. In this article, we will examine the latest advancements in CvFAP research, with a particular focus on the enzyme's structural and catalytic mechanism, summarized some limitations in the application of CvFAP, and laboratory-level methods for enhancing enzyme activity and stability. This review can serve as a reference for future large-scale industrial production of hydrocarbon fuels.

Abstract
Kinetic resolution of (R,S)-atenolol is a faster strategy to produce (S)-atenolol. Since this racemate is a less soluble compound, resolution of its ester offers high concentrations in the process. A good analytical method is required to observe the enantiomer concentrations. This paper described application of ultra-fast liquid chromatography on the atenolol ester separation using different resolution media and analytical procedures. Chiralcel OD column resolved the ester. The chromatograms indicated different characteristics of the process. The enantiomers could be recognized by the column in less than 1 (one) hour. Symmetrical peaks were obtained, but several procedures produced peaks with wide bases and slanted baselines. Efficient enantioresolution was obtained at high mobile phase flow rate, decreased concentration of amine-type modifier, but increased alcohol content in the mobile phase. High UV detection wavelength was required. At 1.0 mL/min, the (90/10/0.5) composition resulted α = 1.46 and RS = 0.9998 that were good separation.
