β¦ Synopsis
Biocatalysis has always been a key focus area in biotechnology and new approaches for the utilization of biocatalysts have continued to emerge over the past year. Significant progress has been made in the biocatalytic production of both synthetic and natural polymers, in the generation of novel biocatalysts using genetic and biochemical approaches or through identification of new biological sources, in the immobilization of biocatalysts and their modification with amphiphilic polymers, and in the modulation of the stereochemistry of enzymatic reactions.

New applications of biocatalysts continue to be developed with the discovery of new enzymes, the modification of old enzymes, and the design of novel reaction conditions that alter enzyme properties and performance. Advances are being made possible by the cooperative efforts of enzymologists, chemis
Biocatalyst stability in continuous reactions is one of the main bottlenecks for their application for chemical syntheses. This is especially true for the turnover of toxic compounds and challenging reactions like oxyfunctionalizations of hydrocarbons. Gross et al. report a tube reactor based on a c
