Abstract:
The development and application of industrial enzymes have penetrated major industrial fields. China faces a major challenge as a large country in applying enzyme but a small one in producing enzyme. Biocatalysis has become an important technology and strategy of industrial development in the world since chemical catalysis encounters the crises from resource, energy and environment. The application of efficient and clean biocatalysis is one of the important ways to realize the sustainable development of chemical industry and to modernize the fermentation industry. From perspective of the industry-university-research cooperation, we reviewed the current status and the future development of enzyme engineering from the aspects of enzyme resources, customization of enzyme molecular machine and cell factory.
