In today's world, there is an increasing trend towards the use of renewable, cheap and
readily available biomass in the production of a wide variety of fine and bulk chemicals in …

Prokaryotic extremophiles were the first representatives of life on Earth and they are
responsible for the genesis of geological structures during the evolution and creation of all …

Sažetak Extremophiles are bizarre microorganisms that can grow and thrive in extreme
environments, which were formerly considered too hostile to support life. The extreme …

Cytochrome P450 monooxygenases (P450s or CYPs) are a unique family of enzymes which
are capable of catalysing the regio-and stereospecific oxidation of non-functionalised …

Extremophilic organisms are primarily prokaryotic (archaea and bacteria), with few
eukaryotic examples. Extremophiles are defined by the environmental conditions in which …

Biocatalysis for the synthesis of fine chemicals is highly attractive but usually requires
organic (co‐) solvents (OSs). However, native enzymes often have low activity and …

Many industrial processes used to produce chemicals and pharmaceuticals would benefit
from enzymes that function under extreme conditions. Enzymes from extremophilic …

The stability of thermophilic proteins has been viewed from different perspectives and there
is yet no unified principle to understand this stability. It would be valuable to reveal the most …

Directed evolution is being used increasingly in industrial and academic laboratories to
modify and improve commercially important enzymes. Laboratory evolution is thought to …

Pectinases catalyze numerous pectin conversion reactions strongly impacting on the quality
of fruits, vegetables, and the related intermediate and end products. The effect of processing …
