FIGURE 1.

Schematic depiction of enzymatic TAG hydrolysis and formation of potential DAG products. Hydrolysis of the prochiral TAG may lead to formation of the regioisomer sn-1,3 DAG upon cleavage of the sn-2 position or to the enantiomers sn-1,2 or sn-2,3 DAG by hydrolysis of the ester bond at the sn-3 or sn-1 position, respectively. The numbers denoted on the carbon atoms of the glycerol backbone indicate the stereospecific numbering (sn). The asterisk indicates the chiral center of the DAG at the sn-2 position.
