Merck & Co. scientists use a suite of enzymes to manufacture the cholesterol-lowering drug candidate enlicitide ...

The accelerating development of biocatalysis. In silico and experimental tools developed in the last decade allow the fast creation of tailored enzymes. In addition to the concise synthesis of complex ...

Biocatalysis in deep eutectic solvents (DESs) has emerged as a versatile and sustainable approach to drive enzyme‐mediated transformations under non‐conventional conditions. DESs are eutectic mixtures ...

Biocatalysis harnesses the extraordinary specificity and catalytic power of enzymes to drive chemical transformations under mild, environmentally benign conditions. Enzymes—nature’s catalysts—mediate ...

Enzymes are great at building complex molecules, and in some cases greener and safer than traditional chemical reagents. But they can also be notoriously picky about the molecules they work on, which ...

Johnson Matthey (JM), a specialty chemicals and sustainable technologies company, reports that it has partnered with Basecamp Research, which maps global biodiversity for computational biodesign ...

Biocatalysis is a process that utilizes natural substances, especially, enzymes, to enhance the speed of a chemical reaction. Scientists have stated that enzymes are responsible for the catalysis of ...

Researchers are building out the repertoire of chemical reactions, using light. They report a method using photobiocatalysis to produce non-canonical (not naturally occurring) amino acids that are ...

Industrial biocatalysis with enzymes is deemed to be a 'game changer' in the development of a sustainable chemical industry. Enzymes can be used to synthesize an impressive range of complex molecules, ...

The University of Iowa’s Center for Biocatalysis and Bioprocessing (CBB) has received a $1 million grant from the Iowa Economic Development Authority Board and said it plans to use the money to expand ...

With a $1 million grant, the University of Iowa’s Center for Biocatalysis and Bioprocessing looks toward expanding the existing biomanufacturing infrastructure. According to the Centers for Disease ...
