Lipase binds <scene name='Lipase/Substrate_contacts/1'>substrates such as cholesteryl linoleate</scene> with numerous hydrophobic contacts. | Lipase binds <scene name='Lipase/Substrate_contacts/1'>substrates such as cholesteryl linoleate</scene> with numerous hydrophobic contacts. As is seen here the Candida rugosa lipase interacts with the alkyl group of cholesteryl linoleate via a hydrophobic rift within the protein. This rift orients the molecule to optimize the lipolysis reaction. | ||
