The selective separation of organic acids is important for the production of numerous biologially functional molecules, including amino acids, peptides, fats, and pharmaceuticals. 1 Enzymes, specifically lipases and proteases, have been used to selectively separate a variety of organic acids; however, multiple steps are usually required. 2 In addition, carbonic anhydrase has been used in a variety of liquid membranes for transport of C02. 3 In the present study, we have coupled the selectivity of enzymes with liquid membranes to provide a single-step method to selectively separate and purify organic acids. Our experimental strategy was to use facilitative transport of a desired organic acid through a liquid membrane. This was carried out by the lipase-catalyzed esterification of the desired organic acid with a hydrophobic alcohol contained in an organic liquid membrane (see Figure 1 A). The resulting ester partitions into the organic phase or is hydrolyzed to the parent acid. Once in the organic phase, the ester diffuses across the membrane where a second lipase catalyzes ester hydrolysis into the alcohol and the parent acid. If the enzyme-facilitated pathway is significantly faster than transport of the organic acids through the membrane, this will result in selective purification of the desired acid. The system employed for these studies is shown inFigure IB.(1)(a) Hansen, P. E.; Morgan, B. A. In The Peptides: Analysis, Syn-thesis, Biology: Udenfriend, S..
