Assessment of the Morphological, Biochemical, and Kinetic Properties for Candida rugosa Lipase Immobilized on Hydrous Niobium Oxide to Be Used in the Biodiesel Synthesis

Figure 2

Effect of reaction pH on hydrolytic activities of lipase preparations. Enzymes were assayed with p-NPP as substrate at 37°C, (∘) free lipase, (●) niobium oxide-lipase. Starting activities (free lipase: 1553 units·mg−1; niobium oxide-lipase: 143 units·mg−1) were taken as 100%.
