Single-step lipase-catalyzed functionalization of medium-chain-length polyhydroxyalkanoates

BACKGROUND: Functionalization of aliphatic biopolymers such as bacterial polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) using biologically active hydrophilic moieties like sugars helps to improve the hydrophilicity and biodegradability of the biomaterial. RESULTS:Theeffects of reaction variables reaction time, tempe...
