Abstract :

Biocatalysts are enzymes, whole cells, organelles, and viruses that catalyze chemical reactions in organic synthesis. They offer many advantages over traditional chemical catalysts, including higher reaction rates and improved product yields. Biocatalysis can be used to generate complex molecules from simpler substrates and provide insight into future applications in green chemistry. Biocatalysts can be used to catalyze a variety of organic reactions, including hydrolysis, esterification, and amination. They offer several advantages over traditional chemical catalysts in that they are more specific for their substrates and less likely to cause side reactions. In addition, they are often renewable and/or recyclable and generate less waste.
