Lipid Synthesis Services

Lipids can be synthesized from a variety of starting materials, such as fatty acids, alcohols and glycerol. The choice of starting materials depends on the desired lipid structure and properties. The starting material is usually activated to make it more reactive to subsequent reactions. For example, fatty acids can be activated by converting them into fatty acid esters or fatty acyl chlorides. Then, the activated starting materials can be linked together by esterification, transesterification or condensation to form a lipid backbone. In addition, enzymes such as lipases and phospholipases can also be used for lipid synthesis by enzymatic methods.

• Enzymatic Synthesis

  Enzyme-catalyzed lipid synthesis refers to the process in which enzymes promote the formation of lipids through chemical reactions. An example of an enzyme catalyzing lipid synthesis is the formation of triglycerides. The process involves the esterification of three fatty acids with a glycerol molecule to form a triglyceride molecule. Enzymes called acyltransferases catalyze this reaction by transferring fatty acid chains onto the glycerol backbone. BOC Sciences has a team of experienced scientists with extensive expertise in enzymatic lipid synthesis. Our in-depth knowledge of lipid chemistry and enzymatic reactions ensures efficient and successful lipid synthesis. In addition, BOC Sciences' enzymatic lipid synthesis service is highly scalable and can produce various quantities of lipids.
