Novozym 40086 as a novel biocatalyst to improve benzyl cinnamate synthesis

Amination of enzymes to improve biocatalyst performance

Albumin as a promiscuous biocatalyst in organic synthesis

Albumin emerged as a biocatalyst in 1980 and the continuing interest in this protein is proved by numerous papers. The use of albumin was initially confined to the field of asymmetric oxidations and reductions, but more recently it has found a broader application to chemical reactions such as additions, condensations and eliminations. This review reports the main applications of albumin in orga...

Advanced Synthesis of Conductive Polyaniline Using Laccase as Biocatalyst

Polyaniline is a conductive polymer with distinctive optical and electrical properties. Its enzymatic synthesis is an environmentally friendly alternative to the use of harsh oxidants and extremely acidic conditions. 7D5L, a high-redox potential laccase developed in our lab, is the biocatalyst of choice for the synthesis of green polyaniline (emeraldine salt) due to its superior ability to oxid...

A Novel Diesel Fuel Additive to Improve Fuel Properties and to Reduce Emissions

Global air pollution is a serious threat caused by excessive use of fossil fuels for transportation. Despite the fact that diesel fuel is a big environmental pollutant as it contains different hydrocarbons, sulphur and crude oil residues, it is yet regarded as a highly critical fuel due to its wide applications. Nowadays, biodiesel as a renewable additive is blended with diesel fuel to achie...
