TL;DR: In any study dealing with enzyme immobilisation the prerequisite is the rigorous planning and reporting of experiments, being aware of the complexity of these multi-phase systems.

TL;DR: The present study analyses bottlenecks hampering the practical applicability of enzymatic polycondensation that have been most often neglected in the past, with a specific focus on solvent-free processes and proposes thin-film processes employing robust covalently immobilized lipases.

TL;DR: Preliminary experimental data here reported indicate that covalent immobilization of lipase from Pseudomonas cepacia performed in the presence of hydrophobic solvent allows one to achieve a more than 10-fold increase in immobilization yield as compared to similar protocols performed in simple aqueous buffer.

TL;DR: The results indicate that this laccase is potentially applicable under denaturing conditions that might be beneficial for the biotransformation of recalcitrant substrates.

TL;DR: In this paper, a new process for the production of polyesters through polymerization catalyzed by an enzyme of at least one monomer characterized in that it comprises the step of running a mixture comprising said monomer and said enzyme in the form of a thin, turbulent and dynamic layer in contact with a wall kept at a predetermined temperature.
