In entrapment an active species, which is often a catalyst, is trapped within a material by a
solid or gel forming event; thus, it becomes dispersed within the solid or semi-solid matrix …

Enzyme immobilization often achieves reusable biocatalysts with improved operational
stability and solvent resistance. However, these modifications are generally associated with …

In 2007 the members of the ACS Green Chemistry Institute® Pharmaceutical Roundtable
assembled a list of key green chemistry research areas to both identify transformations that …

Metalloenzymes such as the carbonic anhydrases (CAs, EC 4.2. 1.1) possess highly
specialized active sites that promote fast reaction rates and high substrate selectivity for the …

Carboxylic acid reductases (CARs) are biocatalysts of industrial importance. Their
properties, especially their poor stability, render them sub-optimal for use in a bioindustrial …

Mimicking Nature by biocatalytic cascade reactions in a whole-cell environment is a
revolutionary development in multistep synthesis for the production of bulk and fine …

Fluorinases offer an environmentally friendly alternative for selective fluorination under mild
conditions. However, their diversity is limited in nature and they have yet to be engineered …

The biocatalysis process takes place with the participation of enzymes, which, depending on
the reaction carried out, require, apart from the appropriate arrangement of catalytic …

Chiral expression from the molecular to macroscopic level is common in biological systems,
but is difficult to realise for coordination polymers (CPs). The assembly of homochiral CPs in …

Chemical reactions can be performed to covalently modify specific residues in proteins.
When applied to native enzymes, these chemical modifications can greatly expand the …
