Abstract

Researchers at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem created an enzymatic process using phosphilipase enzymes to catalyze transesterification or hydrolysis of phospholipids present in aqueous liposomal suspensions, without detergents or organic solvents. The process is proved to be useful for making differently substituted phospholipids, as well as diacyl glycerols and ceramides.
