- Abstract
The article presents a research, which examines the production of docosahexaenoic acid bounded phospholipids using phospholipase A2 mediated bioconversion, conducted by Hokkaido University in Japan. The researchers concluded that although formamide is essential to obtain high velocity at the early stage of the synthetic reaction, it must be removed as soon as the acyl donor is incorporated into the glycerol backbone. Otherwise, hydrolysis would also be activated by the excessive formamide to clog up the synthetic reaction.
