Interfacial hydrolysis of oxanorbornane-based amphiphile (Triol C16) by Candida rugosa lipase was investigated using real-time polarized Fourier transform-infrared reflection absorption spectroscopy (FT-IRRAS). The kinetics of hydrolysis was studied by analyzing the ester carbonyl nu(C=0) stretching vibration band across the two dimensional (2D) array of molecules at the confined interface. In particular, we demonstrate Triol C16 to form Michaelis-Menten type complex, like that of lipid-substrate analogues, where the Triol C16 head group remained accessible to the catalytic triad of the lipase. The enzyme induced selective cleavage of the ester bond was spectroscopically monitored by the disappearance of the intense nu(C=0) resonance at 1736 cm(-1). Consequently, the in situ spectroscopic measurements evidenced selective ester hydrolysis of Triol C16 yielding Tetrol (COH)-O-2 and Palmitic acid, which remained predominantly in the undissociated form at the interface. The conformation sensitive amide I (majorly nu(C=0)) and the interfacial water reorganization suggested 2D ordering of the enzyme molecules following which interfacial reactions were employed towards probing the enzyme kinetics at the air/water interface. The investigation demonstrated further the potential of IRRAS spectroscopy for real-time monitoring the hydrolytic product formation and selectivity at biomimetic interfaces. (C) 2017 Elsevier B.V.
