TL;DR: The addition of catalase, single-electron oxidants, and copper ions was investigated systematically in order to find the minimum concentrations required to obtain a fully active GOase.

TL;DR: An overview of the state-of-the-art biocatalytic oxidations is given, and several important issues for future implementation in a production process are discussed.

TL;DR: A novel strategy using a supported liquid membrane together with a packed bed reactor to successfully shift the equilibrium in asymmetric synthesis of (S)-α-methylbenzylamine (MBA) and a selective extraction of the produced MBA was realized.

TL;DR: The oxidation of glucose to glucono‐1,5‐lactone by glucose oxidase was used as a model reaction to study a novel continuous agitated cell reactor (ACR) and it was found that the ACR could more than double the overall reaction rate, which was solely due to an increased oxygen transfer rate in theACR caused by the intense mixing as a result of the spring agitators.

TL;DR: Alanine shows the following advantages over the other frequently employed amine donor isopropyl amine: (i) nonextractability of alanine affords high product purity without any additional downstream step and no losses via coextraction, (ii) higher maximum reaction rates, and (iii) broader acceptance among ATAs.
