Nonthermal Effect of Microwave Irradiation in Nonaqueous Enzymatic Esterification

Abstract: Microwave has nonthermal effects on enzymatic reactions, mainly caused by the polarities of the solvents and substrates. In this experiment, a model reaction with caprylic acid and butanol that was catalyzed by lipase from Mucor miehei in alkanes or arenes was employed to investigate the nonthermal effect in nonaqueous enzymatic esterification. With the comparison of the esterification carried by conventional heating and consecutive microwave irradiation, the positive nonthermal effect on the initial reaction … Show more

“…Apart from their effects on cell membranes, microwaves cause non-thermal acceleration of enzymatic reactions in microbial cells, such as non-aqueous esterification (formation of ester-type of chemical compounds without participation of water), and this effect is substrate concentration-dependent [28]. Moreover, microwaves can accelerate synthesis of glycopeptides in vitro (out of the living cells), which may occur in microbial cells, changing their functions [29].…”

“…Moreover, US cavitation can modify protein conformation and expose more enzyme binding sites, which could improve the hydrolysis rate of the protein. Similarly, MW radiation can also change the structure of the protein through the destruction of the protein organization and exposure of the enzyme binding sites at greater extent (Wan, Sun, Hu, & Xia, ). On the other hand, HT could bring the structural changes in protein and expose a greater number of internal enzyme sites.…”

“…used MI to increase the rates of reactions involved in the esterification between n -caprylic acid and pentanol isomers catalyzed via lipase. Wan, Sun, Hu, and Xia24 suggested that MI has nonthermal effects on enzymatic reactions, which is primarily due to the polarities of the substrates and solvents. Young, Nichols, Kelly, and Deiters25 reported that MI is an effective tool for increasing the reaction rates in the activation of enzymatic catalysis.…”
