In the case of basic chemicals the chances for new catalytic processes are small, but they are better for higher value chemicals such as fine and specialty chemicals. Pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals are two areas where homogeneous catalysts have advantages. Complex molecules can often be synthesized in single-step one-pot reactions with the aid of transition metals. This sector has many potential points of overlap with biotechnology, especially enzyme catalysis [5].

Bioactive peptides can be extracted and purified with these technologies, which vary from simple to complex. Following this, the isolation of bioactive peptides, oligosaccharides, fatty acids, enzymes, water-soluble minerals, and biopolymers for biotechnological and pharmaceutical applications is possible. Further, some of these bioactive peptides have been identified to possess nutraceutical potentials that are beneficial for human health. 

The enzymes found in Nature are the result of aeons of cumulative natural selection, but they were not evolved to perform biotransformations of non-natural, pharmaceutical target molecules. In order to make them suited to these tasks they generally need to be re-evolved, but we don t have millions of years to do it. Fortunately, modern advances in biotechnology have made it possible to accomplish...
