Bioengineered Polyhydroxyalkanoates as Immobilized Enzyme Scaffolds for Industrial Applications

Industrial enzyme applications.

The effective catalytic properties of enzymes have already promoted their introduction into several industrial products and processes. Recent developments in biotechnology, particularly in areas such as protein engineering and directed evolution, have provided important tools for the efficient development of new enzymes. This has resulted in the development of enzymes with improved properties f...

Bioengineered Scaffolds for Peripheral Nerve Regeneration

Concise review: tailoring bioengineered scaffolds for stem cell applications in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.

The potential for the clinical application of stem cells in tissue regeneration is clearly significant. However, this potential has remained largely unrealized owing to the persistent challenges in reproducibly, with tight quality criteria, and expanding and controlling the fate of stem cells in vitro and in vivo. Tissue engineering approaches that rely on reformatting traditional Food and Drug...

Immobilized carbon nanofibers as industrial catalyst for ODH reactions

Carbon nanofibers have been immobilized onto carbon felt as the first step for their industrial application in Oxidative DeHydrogenation (ODH) reactions, exhibiting a stable performance with a high selectivity to styrene in the ODH of ethyl benzene at temperatures around 300 K lower than the actual industrial process, and inhibiting the problem that loose small particle as CNFs shows for being ...

Production and industrial applications of laccase enzyme

Laccase is an enzyme that has potential ability of oxidation. It belongs to those enzymes, which have innate properties of reactive radical production, and its utilization in many fields has been ignored because of its unavailability in the commercial field. There are diverse sources of laccase producing organisms like bacteria, fungi and plants. Textile, pulp and paper industries discharge a h...
