Abstract:
Biocatalysis inherently offers the prospect of clean industrial processing and has become an accepted technology throughout most sectors. The convergence of biology and chemistry has enabled a plethora of industrial opportunities to be targeted, while discoveries in biodiversity and the impact of molecular biology and computational science are extending the range of natural and engineered biocatalysts that can be customised for clean industrial requirements.
