The enhancement effect of the activity of lipase for the synthesis of ester in organic solvents by complexing with synthetic water-soluble polymers such as poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) and poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP) was studied. Although natural polymers such as proteins and polysaccharides did not show any enhancement effect, PEG, including its monoalkyl ether derivatives, and PVP showed great enhancement effects. The activity of PVP-lipase complex in isooctane was mainly investigated for the synthesis of 1-phenylethyl acrylate.
