Encapsulation of Biologicals within Silicate, Siloxane, and Hybrid Sol−Gel Polymers: An Efficient and Generic Approach
TL;DR: In this article, a new class of precursors, based around polyol silicates, derived from glycerol, was described and employed for sol−gel bioentrapment in an approach distinguished by a high biocompatibility and mild encapsulation conditions, and which enables the reproducible and efficient confinement of proteins and cells inside silica.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bioencapsulation within synthetic polymers (Part 1): sol–gel encapsulated biologicals
Iqbal Gill,Antonio Ballesteros +1 more
TL;DR: With rapid advances in sol-gel precursors, nanoengineered polymers, encapsulation protocols and fabrication methods, this technology promises to revolutionize bioimmobilization.
Journal ArticleDOI
Environmental biocatalysis: from remediation with enzymes to novel green processes
TL;DR: This article will discuss issues, pinpointing specific new advances in recombinant DNA techniques amenable to future biocatalyst development, in addition to drawing the attention of the biotechnology community to the active pursuit and development of environmentalBiocatalysis, from remediation with enzymes to novel green processes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Engineering and Applications of fungal laccases for organic synthesis
Adinarayana Kunamneni,Susana Camarero,Carlos García-Burgos,Francisco J. Plou,Antonio Ballesteros,Miguel Alcalde +5 more
TL;DR: Laccases are multi-copper containing oxidases, widely distributed in fungi, higher plants and bacteria, and can perform exquisite transformations ranging from the oxidation of functional groups to the heteromolecular coupling for production of new antibiotics derivatives, or the catalysis of key steps in the synthesis of complex natural products.
Journal ArticleDOI
Laccases and their applications: a patent review.
TL;DR: Recent and important patents related to the properties, heterologous production, molecular cloning, and applications of laccases within different industrial fields as well as their potential extension to the nanobiotechnology area are reviewed.
