Industrial applications of enzyme biocatalysis: Current status and future aspects

Jung-Min Choi et al. Biotechnol Adv. .

Abstract

Enzymes are the most proficient catalysts, offering much more competitive processes compared to chemical catalysts. The number of industrial applications for enzymes has exploded in recent years, mainly owing to advances in protein engineering technology and environmental and economic necessities. Herein, we review recent progress in enzyme biocatalysis, and discuss the trends and strategies that are leading to broader industrial enzyme applications. The challenges and opportunities in developing biocatalytic processes are also discussed.

Keywords: Biocatalysis; Bioprocess; Enzymes; Industrial applications.
