could anybody tell me about the lipase enzyme ?? Without using difficult to understand scientific words!?

Question

Please tell me about what happens when the enzymes get too hot and about why they collide if they get too hot because that confuses me too. Thanks

Answer 1

lipase enzyme is the enzyme that breaks down LARGE fats/lipids into SMALLER molecules...hence fatty substances...allowing the body to absorb the smaller molecules. lipase is normaly produce in the pancreas (in human body) and works well in alkaline conditions with the help of an emulsifier (breaks up the large chunks into smaller chunks for larger surface area for the lipase to work on, hence breaks down those chunks quicker) from bile (which makes up the alkaline conditions).

Answer 2

You can also use lipase enzymes to make esters from acid and alcohols, however this is somewhat more difficult because you are trying to make the enzyme a reaction on a substrate that normally it will not work.
So you will test a lot of enzymes from different animals and bacteria, starting with candida antartica and candida rugosa, maybe even supported on resins, so you just filter out our enzyme to recover it and reuse it later.

Reactions with enzymes are becoming more and more important in industrial context, because this kind of reaction are supeclean (they they work as intended of course).

Standard coupling compounds are quite toxic, difficult to handle, or somewhat difficult to remove after the reaction is complete, for example DCCD, EDC, pyBop, pyBrop, IBCF and so on.

Answer 3

Lipases like steapsin catalyze hydrolysis (decomposition by water) of lipids. Lipids are fats, oils, and steroids. Actually, lipases just hydrolyze fats and oils. Fats and oils are esters of glycerol, HO-CH2-CHOH-CH2-OH, with long-chain fatty acids like stearic, CH3(CH2)16)COOH. The products are glycerol and the fatty acids. Fats and oils are not absorbed from the stomach or intestines and must be digested by lipases first.

Answer 4

lipase breaks down fats into smaller molecules in your tummy, if you have trouble remembering just think of a fat lipstick
