Biocatalysis refers to the use of living (biological) systems or their parts to speed up (catalyze) chemical reactions. In biocatalytic processes, natural catalysts, such as enzymes, perform chemical transformations on organic compounds.

From a technological perspective, a biocatalyst is a catalyst of biological nature able to perform a useful chemical reaction under controlled conditions. The use of such biological entities as process catalysts usually requires them to withstand …

2021年6月24日 · Biocatalysis is enabled by various factors including reaction design, biocatalyst choice and optimization as well as bioprocess development. It has been used for the synthesis of a wide range...

2018年8月23日 · Biocatalysis is “the use of natural substances to speed up (catalyze) chemical reactions”. In most cases, a group of proteins called enzymes will be carrying out the...

A biocatalyst is defined as a type of catalyst that offers regio- and stereo-selectivity in chemical processing, often serving as a more environmentally friendly alternative to traditional chemical catalysts.

In this review we will focus on biocatalysis suitable for scalable chemical production and discuss the opportunities and limitations of enzymatic syntheses using distinct examples.

The biocatalyst can be an enzyme(s) or a microorganism(s), which are specific catalysts for selective and efficient realization of biochemical production. The biocatalyst is immobilized inside a porous membrane layer (often inside the support layer of an asymmetric membrane).

2012年5月9日 · Key advances in DNA sequencing and gene synthesis are at the base of tremendous progress in tailoring biocatalysts by protein engineering and design, and the ability to reorganize enzymes into...

Scientists have been trying to understand and harness this ability in a laboratory setting for years through biocatalysis, the use of enzymes to perform chemical conversions of molecules in living cells.

2017年9月6日 · 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 spectacular advances in molecular biology and …
