Biocatalysis: The Outcast [PDF]
The black sheep of the family: According to the established classification of catalysis, biocatalysis forms a separate category apart from homogeneous and heterogenous catalysis, yet, in fact, biocatalysis, much like regular chemocatalysis, is also either homogeneous or heterogeneous. This article represents a historical perspective on this dilemma and

Engineering Biofilms for Biocatalysis [PDF]
Biofilm, friend not foe: Single species biofilms can be engineered to form robust biocatalysts with greater catalytic activity and significantly improved catalytic longevity than purified and immobilised enzymes. We report the engineering, structural analysis and biocatalytic capability of a biofilm that can mediate the conversion of serine and ...

Miniaturization in Biocatalysis [PDF]
The use of biocatalysts for the production of both consumer goods and building blocks for chemical synthesis is consistently gaining relevance. A significant contribution for recent advances towards further implementation of enzymes and whole cells is related to the developments in miniature reactor technology and insights into flow behavior.
