Macroporous poly(glycidyl methacrylate-co-ethylene glycol dimethacrylate) resins-Versatile immobilization supports for biocatalysts

TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of the resin properties on the loading of Candida antarctica lipase B (Cal-B) during immobilization and on the hydrolytic (hydrolysis of para-nitrophenyl acetate) and synthetic (ring-opening polymerization of e-caprolactone) activity of the immobilized CalB were studied.

Preparative Biotransformations: Oxidation of Alcohols

TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the preparation methods for the oxidation of primary and secondary alcohols can be found, highlighting the advantages and the limitations of classical and innovative bioprocesses, as well as suggestions for combining recent improvements of the techniques used in biocatalysis (high throughput screening, (meta)genomics, protein engineering, metabolic engineering, and bio-process engineering) with green and efficient synthetic approaches.
Journal ArticleDOI

Many pathways in laboratory evolution can lead to improved enzymes: how to escape from local minima.

TL;DR: All 24 pathways were found to provide improved mutants with notably enhanced stereoselectivity, and when a library failed to contain any hits, non‐improved or even inferior mutants were used as templates in the continuation of the evolutionary pathway, thereby escaping from the local minimum.

Shedding light on the efficacy of laboratory evolution based on iterative saturation mutagenesis

TL;DR: In this paper, an iterative saturation mutagenesis (ISM) approach is proposed to enhance the enantioselectivity and/or the thermostability of enzymes, using reduced amino acid alphabets as defined by appropriate codon degeneracies supplements.

Directed evolution of enantioselective hybrid catalysts: a novel concept in asymmetric catalysis

TL;DR: The concept of directed evolution of enantioselective hybrid catalysts was proposed in 2001/2002 and implemented experimentally for the first time in a proof-of-concept study in 2006 as discussed by the authors.
