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 ...

How do Living Organisms Speed up Chemical Reactions? Biocatalysis is “the use of natural substances to speed up (catalyze) chemical reactions”. In most cases, a group of proteins called enzymes will ...

Enzymatic catalysis offers pharma manufacturers a way to implement the Principles of Green Chemistry. Pressures on drug manufacturers to reduce development timelines and costs while also providing ...

Some enzymes, such as the one derived from fungi and investigated in this study, are able to produce valuable substances such as the fragrance (R)-1-phenylethanol. To this end, they convert a less ...

The researchers identified a library of synthetic polymers and screened them for their ability to induce biofilm formation in E. coli, a bacterium that is one of the most widely studied ...

Pharmaceutical process chemists use resolutions, or the separation of enantiomers from racemic mixtures, more than 60% of the time to generate chiral compounds. Among resolution methods, ...

With the changing era, businesses across industries are transitioning towards more sustainable future. In this scenario, lowering one’s carbon footprint and identifying sustainable alternatives are ...

Biocatalysis, which involves the use of enzymes, microbes, and higher organisms to carry out chemical reactions, is well established in the production of pharmaceuticals, food, agrochemicals, and fine ...

Collaboration provides pharmaceutical industry customers with access to enzyme expertise and assets resulting in cost-effective, green processing at all phases of development, from preclinical to ...
