• Glycerol-based DESs markedly enhanced the thermal stability of laccase. • Simple aqueous mixtures of DES components also improved enzyme stability. • Glycerol–proline DES-derived solutions showed unique activation effects. • Preparation history altered enzymatic behavior in glycerol-based DES systems. • Preparation-induced side reactions likely modulated laccase activity.
KOSEKI et al. (Fri,) studied this question.
