TL;DR: An overview of the state-of-the-art and several important issues for future implementation in a production process can be found in this article, where several different enzymes of both types have been applied for proof of concept.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors described the application of the Pleurotus ostreatus POXA1b laccase in polymeric dye synthesis using resorcinol and 2,5-diaminobenzenesulfonic acid as substrates.

TL;DR: In this article, the enzyme activity was found to be above 90% with a wide pH range of 5.8-8.0, temperature range of 40-80°C, storage range of 3 months and an increase in operation range of >15 times.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors reported an increase in PLA activity in lecithin-hexane solution by 30.9-fold and its substrate specificity was substantially enhanced when 105mg diatomite/mg bi-PLA1 was incorporated as an immobilization carrier.

TL;DR: Because the lipase can avoid the secondary hydrolysis of synthesized peptide, it is expected to be an effective method for obtaining a good yield of dipeptide.

TL;DR: The whole cells of yeast excellently worked in nonaqueous medium, ethanol without decrease in catalytic activity, and the cost effective protocol has been developed for the Michael addition of malononitrile on 1,3-diaryl-2-propen-1-ones (Chalcones).

TL;DR: A bismaleimide functionalized linker was used to convert all the enzyme’s disulfide bridges to more stable thioether linkages, and a 1.5 fold increase in half life time after exposure to hydrogen peroxide was achieved and a 75% increase in long-term stability was achieved in comparison to the commercial preparation.

TL;DR: A unique, one step protocol for room temperature immobilization of enzyme catalase onto epoxy functionalised cellulose matrix developed via gamma radiation induced simultaneous irradiation grafting of Glycidylmethacrylate (GMA).
