Biochemistry Biocatalysis

Biochemistry biocatalysis is the use of biological systems to catalyze specific chemical reactions. Biocatalysis offers an attractive way to solve challenging synthetic problems, and enables chemists to access difficult targets in an efficient, cost-effective and environmentally friendly manner. Its significance lies in its ability to speed up synthetic processes and create molecules with greater complexity. In addition, biocatalysts have been found to have higher levels of activity and selectivity, providing a degree of control to synthesis. Biochemical biocatalysis is extensively utilized in industries such as pharmaceuticals and specialty chemicals, allowing for the production of complex structures with cost efficiency.
