Ionic liquids (ILs) have evolved as a new type of non-aqueous solvents for biocatalysis,
mainly due to their unique and tunable physical properties. A number of recent review
papers have described a variety of enzymatic reactions conducted in IL solutions, on the
other hand, to improve the enzyme's activity and stability in ILs; major methods being
explored include the enzyme immobilization (on solid support, sol–gel, etc.), protic ionic
liquids used as an additive process. The immobilization of the lipase from Burkholderia …
