Highlights•CA catalyzes fast CO 2 hydration and can expedites CO 2 capture and
conversion.•Enhancing log-term stability of CA is critical for its successful uses.•Strategies …

Abstract CO 2 Capture Utilization and Storage (CCUS) is a fundamental strategy to mitigate
climate change, and carbon sequestration, through absorption, can be one of the solutions …

Biopolymer processing and handling is greatly facilitated by the use of ionic liquids, given
the increased solubility, and in some cases, structural stability imparted to these molecules …

Marine‐polysaccharide degrading enzymes have recently been studied extensively. They
are particularly interesting as they catalyze the cleavage of glycosidic bonds in …

Lignocellulosic biomass is a most promising feedstock in the production of second-
generation biofuels. Efficient degradation of lignocellulosic biomass requires a synergistic …

Genetically encoded macrocyclic peptide libraries with unnatural pharmacophores are
valuable sources for the discovery of ligands for many targets of interest. Traditionally …

Computationally driven engineering of proteins aims to allow them to withstand an extended
range of conditions and to mediate modified or novel functions. Therefore, it is crucial to the …

Biocatalysis in ionic liquids (ILs) gained substantial interest due to solvent properties of the
ILs, such as near-zero vapor pressure, high thermal stability, and wide tunability. Enzymes …

Abstract Carbonic anhydrases (CAs, EC 4.2. 1.1) are zinc-containing metalloenzymes that
can accelerate the hydration rate of CO 2 into HCO 3 _. But natural CA is usually unstable in …

Members of the genus Spiribacter are found worldwide and are abundant in ecosystems
possessing intermediate salinities between seawater and saturated salt concentrations …
