Abstract

Using commercially available thiosubstrates, such as 2,3-dimercapto-1-propanol tributyrate, the regio-specificities of 1,3-specific and nonspecific lipases was confirmed. The spectrophotometric test is a simple, rapid, and convenient alternative method to those previously reported for the characterization of the positional specificities of new lipases.
