title: Active site geometry of porcine pancreatic lipase: an interesting switchover from Jones' to Seebach's model.
abstract: Porcine pancreatic lipase (PPL)-catalyzed hydrolysis of cis 3-acetoxyethyl-1,4-diphenyl and cis 3-acetoxyethyl-1-phenyl-4-(2-furyl) beta-lactams 1a and 1b proceeded with opposite stereoselectivity while the corresponding thienyl beta-lactam 1c showed no selectivity at all. An explanation based upon the dominance of hydrophobic and polar pockets in governing the stereoselectivity has been proposed.
