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 …

Lipases are the most widely used enzymes in biocatalysis, and the most utilized method for
enzyme immobilization is using hydrophobic supports at low ionic strength. This method …

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 …

Ionic liquids (ILs) have now been acknowledged as reaction media for biotransformations.
The first three examples were reported in this field in 2000, and since then, numerous …

Enzymes as catalysts in synthetic organic chemistry gained importance in the latter half of
the 20th century, but nevertheless suffered from two major limitations. First, many enzymes …

In the period 1985 to 1995 applications of biocatalysis, driven by the need for more
sustainable manufacture of chemicals and catalytic,(enantio) selective methods for the …

The amino acid sequence of a protein affects both its structure and its function. Thus, the
ability to modify the sequence, and hence the structure and activity, of individual proteins in …

In this review we analyse structure/sequence–function relationships for the superfamily of
PLP-dependent enzymes with special emphasis on class III transaminases. Amine …

Strategies that provide enzymes with the ability to catalyse non-natural reactions are of
considerable synthetic value. Photoredox catalysis has proved adept at expanding the …

Enzymes are an attractive alternative in the asymmetric syntheses of chiral building blocks.
To meet the requirements of industrial biotechnology and to introduce new functionalities …
