Biocatalytic systems developing more selective

Chemistries such as gasification, carboxylation, carbonylation, partial oxidation, and salt splitting may see much greater emphasis in manufacturing. These chemistries will need concurrent development of more selective catalytic and biocatalytic systems and promoters, as well as processes requiring much less ex-... 

Biocatalytic ledox reactions offer great synthetic utility to organic chemists. The majority of oxidase-catalyzed preparative bioconversions are still performed using a whole-ceU technique, despite the fact that the presence of more than one oxidoreductase in cells often leads to product degradation and lower selectivity. Fortunately, several efficient cofactor regeneration systems have been developed (160), making some cell-free enzymatic bioconversions economically feasible (161,162).
