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 …

There are still debates on whether the hydration of ions perturbs the water structure, and
what is the degree of such disturbance; therefore, the origin of the Hofmeister effect on …

When challenged by a difficult reduction reaction, a chemist should always also consider
biocatalysis in synthesis planning. The inherent selectivity of enzymes has been known for …

Room temperatures ionic liquids are considered as miraculous solvents for biological
system. Due to their inimitable properties and large variety of applications, they have been …

Ionic liquids (ILs) have shown potentials as a new reaction medium for biocatalysis, either as
such or as an aqueous mixture. Their unique ionic nature is important in affecting the …

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 …

Ionic liquids, also called molten salts, are mixtures of cations and anions that melt below
100° C. Typical ionic liquids are dialkylimidazolium cations with weakly coordinating anions …

This perspective reviews the current status and prospects of biocatalysis in ionic liquids.
Although they are not strictly speaking ionic liquids, deep eutectic solvents are included …

Enzyme activity in nonaqueous media (eg conventional organic solvents) is typically lower
than in water by several orders of magnitude. There is a rising interest of developing new …

Ionic liquids (ILs) have unique physicochemical properties that make them advantageous for
catalysis, such as low vapor pressure, non-flammability, high thermal and chemical …
