Enzyme engineering is a powerful tool to fine‐tune the enzymes. It is a technique by which
the stability, activity, and specificity of the enzymes can be altered. The characteristic …

During the recent past years, tremendous efforts have been made to establish
enantioselective routes for the preparation of enantiomerically pure compounds due to their …

Organic electrochemistry is concerned with the reduction and oxidation of organic molecules
at electrodes. Although it is now more than 200 years ago that the so-called Volta pile was …

Biocatalysis fulfils many key criteria of green chemistry, but this raises the question: how
efficient are such production methods and how important is biotechnology for greener …

During the last decades, biocatalysis became of increasing importance for chemical and
pharmaceutical industries. Regarding regio-and stereospecificity, enzymes have shown to …

Enzymes are able to perform reactions under mild conditions, eg, pH and temperature, with
remarkable chemo-, regio-, and stereoselectivity. Because of this feature, the number of …

The development of efficient syntheses for enantiomerically enriched α-hydroxy ketones is
an important research focus in the pharmaceutical industry. For example, α-hydroxy ketones …

Redox reactions are essential to any currently known form of life and are at the core of a
majority of metabolic processes, such as cellular respiration or photosynthesis. As about …

Streptomyces sp. GF3587 and 3546 were found to be imine-reducing strains with high R-
and S-selectivity by screening using 2-methyl-1-pyrroline (2-MPN). Their whole-cell catalysts …

In recent years, biocatalysis has started to provide an important green tool in synthetic
organic chemistry. Currently, the idea of using multi-enzymatic systems for industrial …
