Abstract
Immobilisation of lipases on solid supports is important for the industrial use of these enzymes. This study investigated how support hydrophobicity and surfactants can affect the activity/selectivity of immobilised lipases. It was demonstrated that a combination of surfactant and tuned support hydrophobicity affords control of lipase activity and substrate selectivity
