Özet

Nigella sativa L. seed lipase isolated from defatted seeds was partially purified and used as catalyst in transesterification reactions. Purification of an ammonium sulfate-precipitated sample (at 35% saturation, Nigella PL) by DEAE ion-exchange chromatography increased the specific activity from 13.9 to 156.7 U/mg protein. Nigella PL and Nigella CPL (the partially purified enzyme sample obtained by DEAE ion-exchange chromatography) catalyzed the transesterification of vinyl acetate with octanol, with racemic sulcatol (6-methyl-5-hepten-2-ol), and with racemic trans-sobrerol (trans-p-menth-6-ene-2,8-diol) in different organic solvents. Both activity and enantioselectivity of the enzyme samples used for these biotransformations were affected by the nature of the organic solvent.
