Lipase immobilized on polydopamine-coated magnetite nanoparticles for biodiesel production from soybean oil

Lipase from Pseudomonas cepacia was covalently attached to magnetite nanoparticles coated with a thin polydopamine film, and employed in the enzymatic conversion of soybean oil into biodiesel, in the presence of methanol.  The proposed strategy explored the direct immobilization of the enzyme via Mi...
