Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Nanoscale enzyme reactors (NERs) of Candida. antarctica lipase B (CALB) were prepared by enzyme adsorption on to mesoporous microcellular foam (MCF) followed by enzyme crosslinking within the pores. NERs effectively prevent enzyme leaching and consequently improve thermal stability. MCF has a unique pore structure that is composed of spherical 40 nm sized mesocellular pores connected by 5–20 nm sized mesoporous windows. These smaller connecting pores prevent the leaching of enzyme aggregates, and the pore structure is named as the ‘ship-in-a-bottle’. The synthesised CALB/MCF was characterized using FT-IR, SEM and N 2 adsorption. CALB/MCF was used for the enantioselective esterification of ( R,S )-α-tetralol and vinyl acetate. The various parameters affecting the initial rate, conversion and enantiomeric excess were investigated to establish reaction kinetics and mechanism. CALB/MCF enatioselectively catalysed the esterification of ( R,S )-α-tetralol with conversion of 43.7%, ees 75.5% eep >99.9% and enantiomeric ratio ( E ) greater than 100 at 50 °C in 24 h. The rate and adsorption constants clearly show that reaction obeys Ping Pong bi-bi mechanism with inhibition by vinyl acetate. The experimental and simulated rates match very well showing the validity of the proposed kinetic model.
