Green Chemistry, Biocatalysis, and the Chemical Industry of the Future

In the movement to decarbonize our economy and move away from fossil fuels we will need to harness the waste products of our activities, such as waste lignocellulose, methane, and carbon dioxide. Our wastes need to be integrated into a circular economy where used products are recycled into a manufacturing carbon cycle. Key to this will be the...

New frontiers in enzyme immobilisation: Robust biocatalysts for a circular bio-based economy

This tutorial review focuses on recent advances in technologies for enzyme immobilisation, enabling their cost-effective use in the bio-based economy and continuous processing in general. The application of enzymes, particularly in aqueous media, is generally on a single use, throw-away basis which is neither cost-effective nor compatible...

The Hitchhiker's Guide to Biocatalysis: Recent Advances in the Use of Enzymes in Organic Synthesis

Enzymes are excellent catalysts that are increasingly being used in industry and academia. This perspectiveis primarily aimed at synthetic organic chemists with limited experience using enzymes and providesa general and practical guide to enzymes and their synthetic potential, with particular focus on recentapplications
