Journal ArticleDOI
Improving enzymes by using them in organic solvents
TL;DR: The technological utility of enzymes can be enhanced greatly by using them in organic solvents rather than their natural aqueous reaction media, and they have found numerous potential applications, some of which are already commercialized.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biocatalysis in ionic liquids
TL;DR: Roger Sheldon developed the concepts of E factors and atom utilization for assessing the environmental impact of chemical processes, particularly in relation to fine chemicals production.

Microbial carboxyl esterases: classification, properties and application in biocatalysis
TL;DR: Esterases represent a diverse group of hydrolases catalyzing the cleavage and formation of ester bonds and are widely distributed in animals, plants and microorganisms and special emphasis is given on their application in organic synthesis for the resolution of racemates and prostereogenic compounds.
Journal ArticleDOI
Immobilisation and application of lipases in organic media.
TL;DR: The practical applications of lipases in organic media reviewed include ester synthesis, modification of triacylglycerols and phospholipids, fatty acid enrichment, enantiomer resolution, biodiesel production and acylation of carbohydrates and bioactive compounds.
