“…We identified eight putative lipase genes from the genome of C. aaseri SH-14. Information on putative lipase genes is available from http://genoglobe.kr/kribb/candida_aaseri_2017, where the classification of the putative lipases was based on the oxyanion hole and conserved pentapeptide found in the Lipase Engineering Database (LED) (13, 14). …”

“…The quite new lipase subclass of "Candida antarctica lipase A (CAL-A) like lipases" is assigned to the group of fungal lipases that contain a Y-type oxyanion hole [34]. Their similarity relies on a conserved pentapeptide GESAG in their active site and a unique cap domain.…”

This review first provides a brief introduction into the most important tools and strategies for protein engineering (i.e. directed evolution and rational protein design combined with high-throughput screening methods) followed by examples from literature, in which enzymes have been optimized for biocatalytic applications. This covers engineered lipases with altered fatty acid chain length selectivity, fatty acid specificity and improved performance in esterification reactions. Furthermore, recent achievements reported for phospholipases, lipoxygenases, P450 monooxygenases, decarboxylating enzymes, fatty acid hydratases and the use of enzymes in cascade reactions are treated.

“…Lipases do not require co-factors and they are sufficiently selective to limit the occurrence of side reactions. They are powerful biocatalysts for many industrial applications (food industry, flavor synthesis, pharmacy and biodiesel production) and for this purpose lipases of microbial origin are often used due to their relative stability, ease production and simplicity of genetic manipulation [1]. Lipases, became attractive catalysts also in polymer chemistry, where are involved in the preparation of welldefined functional polymers [2].…”
