Abstract
Thermostability of Candida rugosa lipase in organic solvents and ionic liquids was studied. During our experiments the aim was to determine if the conversion degree and enzyme half-life are changed, i.e. how to tolerate the enzyme the elevated temperature in various solvents. It was found that the enzyme kept its activity and enantioselectivity much better in ionic liquids than in the traditional organic solvents.
