Journal ArticleDOI
Advances in enzyme immobilisation
TL;DR: Improvements in current strategies for carrier-based immobilisation have been developed using hetero-functionalised supports that enhance the binding efficacy and stability through multipoint attachment, and promise to enhance the roles of immobilisation enzymes in industry, while opening the door for novel applications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bioaccumulation of metal cations by saccharomyces cerevisiae
Dean Brady,John R. Duncan +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that yeast cells in suspension accumulate heavy metal cations such as Cu2+, Co2+, and Cd2+ in a wide range of ambient conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Broadening the Scope of Biocatalysis in Sustainable Organic Synthesis
TL;DR: This Review is aimed at synthetic organic chemists who may be familiar with organometallic catalysis but have no experience with biocatalysis, and seeks to provide an answer to the perennial question: if it is so attractive, why wasn't it extensively used in the past?
Journal ArticleDOI
The limits to biocatalysis: pushing the envelope.
Roger A. Sheldon,Dean Brady +1 more
TL;DR: In the period 1985 to 1995 applications of biocatalysis, driven by the need for more sustainable manufacture of chemicals and catalytic, (enantio)selective methods for the synthesis of pharmaceutical intermediates, largely involved the available hydrolases.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Hitchhiker's guide to biocatalysis: recent advances in the use of enzymes in organic synthesis
TL;DR: This Perspective provides a general and practical guide to enzymes and their synthetic potential, primarily aimed at synthetic organic chemists.
