Biocatalysis in Green Solvents
About this book
Biocatalysis in Green Solvents offers a pragmatic overview and instruction in biocatalysis and enzymology of green solvents for sustainable industries and medicine, running from concept to application. Here, international experts in the field discuss structure-function relationships of enzymes in ionic liquids (ILs) and examine how enzymes act as selective catalysts for fine biochemical synthesis in non-aqueous environments. Several integral green biochemical processes of biocatalytic transformation and pure product separation are described in detail.Application focused chapters discuss the role of biocatalysis in creating and implementing deep eutectic solvents, biomass derived solvents, sub and supercritical fluids, carbon dioxide biphasic systems, and enzymatic membrane reactors, as well as applying these biocatalytic processes in drug discovery and production.- Examines the structure-function relationships of enzymes in ionic liquids and biocatalytic processes for various applications across industry and medicine- Includes clear instruction in core green biochemical processes—of (bio)catalytic transformation—and pure product separation- Features chapter contributions from international experts across academia and industry
