Designed Reactive Natural Deep Eutectic Solvents for Lipase-Catalyzed Esterification.

ABSTRACT: Natural deep eutectic solvents (NADESs) are a sustainable, green option for extraction and reaction media in biorefineries and various chemical and biotechnological applications. Particularly, enzymatic reactions profit from NADES applications, as these solvents help to maintain high substrate solubility while improving both enzyme stability and efficiency. Recent studies confirmed that NADESs can perform multiple functions simultaneously, as reaction media for biocatalytic conversions, but also as substrates and catalysts for reactions, fulfilling the role of a reactive solvent. This study reports the beneficial effect of designed reactive natural deep eutectic solvents (R-NADESs) on the esterification activity and thermal stability of free and immobilized lipases in the synthesis of poly
