✦ Synopsis

Biotransformation technologies have enjoyed a renewed interest from researchers and industry because of the progress made in the discovery and design of new, efficient biocatalysts for synthetic applications. Biocatalysis in nonaqueous media, which offers unique capabilities and thus plays a major role in biotransformation technologies, has made tremendous progress in recent years. On average, at least one paper dealing with biocatalysis in organic solvents is published every day. New, remarkable developments have taken place in several key areas of this exciting field during the past year.
