Abstract:
With the rapid development of industrial biotechnology, breakthrough in enzymology and biocatalysis has been made in recent years, especially in areas of stability and activity of enzyme in nonaqueous media, screening, construction and modification of solvent-tolerant biocatalysts, as well as the development of green solvent with excellent biological and environmental compatibility. Recent trend and future focus include: in silico virtual screening and construction of solvent-tolerant biocatalysts based on bioinformatic technology, modification and construction of native solvent-tolerant biocatalysts, the development of environmental friendly green solvent such as ionic liquids.
