Reposted by Alex ChuPolly Fordyce @pollyfordyce.bsky.social · 13/12/2024Many industrially-important reactions (e.g. lipase-catalyzed biofuel production) involve substrates poorly soluble in water. How can we screen enzymes for these reactions? Samuel Thompson invented a new 'triple emulsion' platform for biphasic screening (1/n): onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....onlinelibrary.wiley.comFACS‐Sortable Triple Emulsion Picoreactors for Screening Reactions in Biphasic EnvironmentsBiphasic reactions can enhance reactions where the catalyst and substrate have different solvent preferences. This study optimizes triple emulsion picoreactors that encapsulate a biphasic solvent env... 13310
