Popis: The effect of length of hydrophobic chains of a glycolipid catalyst was studied on hydrolyses of amino acid esters from those having hydrophilic to those having hydrophobic natures. The glycolipid was allowed to interact with phosphatidyl cholin, added as reaction field, to exhibit increased or decreased hydrolyzing activities, depending on the chain length of the glycolipid. The glycolipid was found to show different, ability to recognize substrates in accordance with the chain length, also. The influence of surrounding lipids on an enzymatic model catalyst will be discussed.
