Recent applications of biocatalysis in developing green chemistry for chemical synthesis at the industrial scale
Abstract
Application of the twelve principles of green chemistry can deliver higher efficiency and reduce the environmental burden during chemical synthesis. As a result of recent advances in genomics, proteomics and pathway engineering, biocatalysis is emerging as one of the greenest technologies. Enzymes are highly efficient with excellent regioselectivity and stereoselectivity. By conducting reactions in
