Protein engineering of enzymes for process applications.

This article discusses the challenges involved in enzyme modification focused on process requirements, such as the need to fulfill reaction thermodynamics, specific activity under the required conditions, kinetics at required concentrations, and stability. Finally, future research directions are discussed, including the integration of biocatalysis with neighboring chemical steps. PMID: 23562542 [PubMed - in process]
