Lipase activation at the lipid-water interface of triacylglycerides, in the presence of colipase and bile salts, is known as interfacial activation.  For the hydroloysis reaction to take place, colipase anchors lipase to the lipid-water membrane of the micelle and a surface change occurs on lipase.  Colipase's 4 hydrophobic loops interact with the hydrophobic atmosphere of the triacylglyceride initiating the lipase active site binding to the lipid, and lid opening to reveal a more hydrophobic environment for the triacylglycerol.  Although a diverse array of lipase enzymes are found in nature, occupying diverse protein scaffolds, most are built upon an alpha/beta hydrolase fold<ref>PMID: 1678899</ref><ref>PMID:1409539 </ref>  and possess a [[chymotrypsin]]-like <scene name='Lipase/Catalytic_site_outerview/1'>catalytic triad </scene>comprised of an acidic residue, a histidine, and a serine nucleophile.

This catalytic triad functions like most found in nature, first with the Aspartic acid forming a hydrogen bond with His 263, increasing the pKa of the histidine imidazole nitrogen.

The deprotonated serine then can serve as a nucleophile and attack the ester carbonyl of one of the fatty acids on the 1 or 3 carbons of the glycerol backbone of the lipid substrate.  Upon attacking the lipid, a negatively charged tetrahedral intermediate is formed (Reaction 1).
