Abstract: This presentation will report a summary of the activity of various enzymes in numerous microemulsion compositions reported in the literature, and from our own work. The microemulsion compositions are then used to extract the HLD-NAC assessed morphology of the microemulsions. In most cases, the activity of the enzyme is highly dependent on the size of the aqueous environment of the microemulsions, but the specifics of the relation depends on the type of the enzyme.
