Ionic liquids as a potential solvent for lipase-catalysed reactions: A review

Ionic liquids (ILs) - as environmentally friendly �green� solvents- have been progressively used in various reactions as reagents, solvents and co-solvents including lipase-catalysed reactions. In fact, lipase-catalysed reactions in ILs are considered as a �green�-reaction and are more advan...
