Lipase immobilized on magnetic hierarchically porous carbon materials as a versatile tool for the synthesis of bioactive quercetin derivatives

The preparation, characterization and application of a novel robust nanobiocatalyst, developed through the covalent binding of lipase B from Pseudozyma antarctica on magnetic hierarchically porous carbon materials (HPCFe), is reported. The nanobiocatalyst was characterized by combination of spectroscopic and microscopic techniques. Structural and catalytic characterization indicates that HPCFe nanostructures create a microenvironment which...
