Based on the principles and metrics of green chemistry and sustainable development,
biocatalysis is both a green and sustainable technology. This is largely a result of the …

The review compiles artificial cascades involving enzymes with a focus on the last 10 years.
A cascade is defined as the combination of at least two reaction steps in a single reaction …

Transaminases (TAs) are one of the most promising biocatalysts in organic synthesis for the
preparation of chiral amino compounds. The concise reaction, excellent enantioselectivity …

Elimination or mitigation of the toxic effects of chemical waste released to the environment
by industrial and urban activities relies largely on the catalytic activities of microorganisms …

Chiral amines are valuable building blocks for the pharmaceutical industry. ω-TAms have
emerged as an exciting option for their synthesis, offering a potential “green alternative” to …

Biocatalysis has emerged in the last decade as a pre-eminent technology for enabling the
envisaged transition to a more sustainable bio-based economy. For industrial viability it is …

Multi‐enzymatic cascade reactions, ie, the combination of several enzymatic transformations
in concurrent one‐pot processes, offer considerable advantages: the demand of time, costs …

Biocatalysis has undergone a tremendous development in the past few years. A plethora of
methods enable the rather rapid tailored-design of an enzyme for a targeted reaction such …

For the planning of an organic synthesis route, the disconnection approach guided by
retrosynthetic analysis of possible intermediates and the chemical reactions involved, back …

When challenged by a difficult reduction reaction, a chemist should always also consider
biocatalysis in synthesis planning. The inherent selectivity of enzymes has been known for …
