Abstract	The lipase B from was purified from a commercial source and crystalized. The microcrystals were crosslinked using glutaraldehyde. The crosslinked crystals were then used to catalyze the esterification of ()-ibuprofen with dodecanol in octane at various water activities. As for the commercial preparation immobilized on acrylic resin, Novozym 435, low water activities foster better enantioselectivity, and the maximum reaction rates are obtained for W = 0.1. � 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
