Acetylesterase from orange peel as biocatalyst for the chemo- and regioselective deprotection of carbohydrates.
The enzyme acetylesterase from the flavedo of oranges (EC 3.1.1.6) can advantageously be applied for the chemo- and regioselective deprotection of different types of carbohydrates. It displays a selectivity which in many cases is complementary to the application of other biocatalysts or classical chemical methods.
