摘要
The long and short of it: A regioselective enzyme-catalyzed acylation of the disaccharide trehalose generated a family of low-molecular-weight gelators with unprecedented properties. The selectivity of enzymatic catalysis enables direct control over gelation properties by simply varying the acyl-chain length to give gelation in solvents ranging from the highly hydrophilic acetonitrile to the highly hydrophobic cyclohexane.
