TL;DR: It has been proposed that renewable resources such as plant-derived sugars and other compounds be used to synthesize the compounds necessary for the production of pharmaceuticals, agricultural chemicals, plastics, and transportation fuels.

TL;DR: This review provides an overview of the reported methods for enzymatic asymmetric synthesis of chiral amino acids, including asymmetric reductive amination of keto acids, asymmetric transfer of an amino group to keto fatty acids, enantioselective addition of ammonia to α,β-unsaturated acids, and aldol condensation ofan amino acid to aldehydes.

TL;DR: An overview of biotechnological applications for ADHs in the production of chiral pharmaceuticals and fine chemicals is provided.

TL;DR: A mathematical model was developed to investigate the effects of reaction conditions on the synthesis of octenyl succinic anhydride (OSA)-modified starch from waxy corn starch and to study the characteristics of the OSA-modified starch as well as its applications.

TL;DR: This review provides a systemic overview on the approaches of protein structure modification for the improvement of enzyme thermostability during the last decade, including the introduction of non-covalent interactions and covalent bonds.
