Oxidation chemistry using enzymes is approaching maturity and practical applicability in
organic synthesis. Oxidoreductases (enzymes catalysing redox reactions) enable chemists …

This Review is aimed at synthetic organic chemists who may be familiar with organometallic
catalysis but have no experience with biocatalysis, and seeks to provide an answer to the …

A main goal of green biotechnology is to reduce our dependence on fossil reserves and to
increase the use of renewable materials. For this, lignocellulose, which is composed of …

Lipases are a group of enzymes naturally endowed with the property of performing reactions
