Advances in Enzyme Development and Applied Industrial Biocatalysis
Badal Saha

ACS Symposium Series, 2001

Biocatalysts play important roles in various biotechnology products and processes in the food and beverage industries and have already been recognized as valuable catalysts for various organic transformations and production of fine chemicals and pharmaceuticals. At present, the most commonly used biocatalysts in biotechnology are hydrolytic enzymes which catalyze the breakdown of larger biopolymers into smaller units. Enzymes catalyze reactions in a selective manner, not only regio-but also stereoselectively and have been used both for asymmetric synthesis and racemic resolutions. The chiral selectivity of enzymes has been employed to prepare enantiomerically pure pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals and food additives. Biocatalytic methods have already replaced some conventional chemical processes. Biocatalytic routes, in combination with chemical synthesis, are finding increased use in the synthesis of novel polymeric materials. The present global market for enzymes is estimated to be more than US $1.5 billion. The discovery of new and improved enzymes and their use in various processes and products will create new market opportunities for biocatalysts and helps solve environmental problems. Applied biocatalysis can be defined as the application of biocatalysts to achieve a desired conversion under controlled conditions in a bioreactor (/). A biocatalyst can be an enzyme, an enzyme complex, a cell organelle or whole cells. The source of biocatalyst can be of microbial, plant or animal origin. Catalysis by an enzyme offers 2

Biocatalysis: A Brief Review
mangesh ghodke

2011

Bio catalysis underpins some of the oldest chemical transformations known to humans. Biocatalysis is the use of natural catalysts, such as protein enzymes to perform chemical transformations on organic compounds. Both enzymes that have been more or less isolated and enzymes still residing inside living cells are employed for this task. More than one hundred years ago, bio catalysis was employed to do chemical transformations on non-natural man-made organic compounds and the last 30 years have seen a substantial increase in the application of bio catalysis to produce fine chemicals, especially for the pharmaceutical industry. Here the author emphasizes on the various application of biocatalysts useful in the pharmaceutical industry.

Recent trends in biocatalysis engineering
Guillermo R Castro

During the last 30 years the scope of biocatalysis has been expanding due to the advances in several technological fields. Diverse techniques as structural enzyme improvement (e.g. protein engineering, direct evolution), engineering approaches (e.g. ionic liquids, supercritical fluids) and physical stabilization (e.g. immobilization, CLEAS) have been developed, which in combination are powerful tools to improve biotransformation and to synthesize new products. In the present work, recent advances in biocatalysis are reviewed.

On the development of new biocatalytic processes for practical pharmaceutical synthesis
gjalt huisman

Current Opinion in Chemical Biology, 2013

Biocatalysis has established itself as a scalable and green technology for the production of a broad range of pharmaceutical APIs and intermediates. The number and scope of biocatalysts employed on large scale to deliver costadvantaged and quality-advantaged processes to important substances continue to expand. This review discusses the recent developments in the field, including examples of processes leveraging hydrolases, reductases, transaminases, oxidases and other biocatalysts, focused on the preparation of important investigational and launched therapeutics. Biocatalysts recently discovered, and in some cases rediscovered, for the interesting chemistry they enable are likely to further substantiate the expansion of the biocatalysis field.

Interfacing biocatalysis and organic synthesis
Roland Wohlgemuth

Journal of Chemical Technology & Biotechnology, 2007

The path to new chemical entities often shows the limitations of existing tools both in biocatalysis and organic chemistry. Organic synthetic procedures to prepare a compound in a target-oriented synthesis can damage other functional parts of the molecule. Protection-deprotection schemes can lead to a dead end, when a certain protecting group cannot be cleaved off. In biocatalysis, on the other hand, the required biocatalytic toolbox and methodology might not be readily available, therefore limiting a biocatalytic approach. New toolboxes, ingredients, and methodologies at the interface of classical organic synthesis and biocatalytic reactions bridge the gap between these two areas. Since product isolation and purification involves a substantial amount of time in the preparation of chemicals, methodologies to simplify these tasks are necessary to get the pure product into the bottle with less work-up time.

Industrial processes for the manufacture or modification of chemicals and raw stuffs through “classic” chemistry and catalysis often involve the use of hazardous substances and substantial amounts of energy. In contrast, the “manufacture and modification” of molecules in nature is catalyzed by enzymes with exquisite selectivity, unparalleled rate acceleration and under “mild” reaction conditions. Therefore, the application of enzymes to catalyze industrial reactions, known as “biocatalysis”, has the potential to make chemical processes less contaminant and more sustainable, in accordance with the concept and principles of Green Chemistry. In fact, biocatalysis offers several advantages over chemical methods, which include one-pot reactions, a higher regio- and stereo-selectivity, higher total yields and product purities, and an environmentally-friendly technology. However, despite the great potential of enzymes as biocatalysts, their use in industry is often precluded by several factors, including: i) the high cost of recombinant enzymes, ii) the low stability and short lifespan of the mesophilic enzymes subjected to the rather harsh conditions often needed in some industrial processes (extreme pH values, high temperatures, and the presence of organic solvents), and iii) the difficulty in isolating the biocatalyst from the reaction medium for its reutilization. In fact, these constraints require careful consideration in biocatalytic process development. Nowadays, modern advances in synthetic biology, molecular biology, microbiology, bioinformatics, genomics and proteomics, metabolic and protein engineering, enzyme technology and immobilization methodologies offer efficient strategies to circumvent the abovementioned scale-up problems, and have promoted the Biocatalysis to the next level: “The Golden Age of Biocatalysis” This Special Issue aims to gather the recent advances in the field of biocatalysis and biotransformations, with special emphasis on all the steps of biocatalytic cycle: i) selection of the biocatalyst, ii) 'in silico' data mining, iii) 'in vivo' screening, iv) cloning, expression, production and purification of enzymes, v) structural and functional characterization, vi)improvement of the biocatalyst, vii) enzyme immobilization and reutilization of biocatalyst and viii) scaling up bioprocesses.

Microbiology Australia

Microbial enzymes are used today in the most diverse industrial sectors. However, it is only in recent years that fundamental knowledge has been acquired that allows for a rational ? rather than an empirical ? development and application of microbial enzyme processes. These enzymes are primarily used as an end product or a processing aid in the agricultural sector, food and feed industry, the detergent sector, the textile industry and health care sector. In these sectors they replace or adjust the familiar (bio)chemical processes, or plant or animal enzymes. But they can also perform totally new ?chemical? reactions, with the principal aim of ?improving? and/or modifying the ?substrate?.

Over the past ten years, scientific and technological advances have established biocatalysis as a practical and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional metallo-and organocatalysis in chemical synthesis, both in the laboratory and on an industrial scale. Key advances in DNA sequencing and gene synthesis are at the base of tremendous progress in tailoring biocatalysts by protein engineering and design, and the ability to reorganize enzymes into new biosynthetic pathways. To highlight these achievements, here we discuss applications of protein-engineered biocatalysts ranging from commodity chemicals to advanced pharmaceutical intermediates that use enzyme catalysis as a key step.
