Industrial Enzymes and Biocatalysis

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Handbook of Industrial Chemistry and Biotechnology

Abstract

All life processes, whether plant, animal, or microbial, depend upon a complex network of enzyme-catalyzed chemical reactions for cellular growth and maintenance [1, 2]. As catalysts, enzymes facilitate reactions by enabling alternate reaction mechanisms with lower activation energy, but in no way modify the thermodynamic equilibrium constant or the free energy change of a chemical transformation. They generate enormous kinetic rate accelerations, often exceeding factors of 1012-fold relative to the rate of the uncatalyzed reaction. Enzymes are capable of performing many different chemistries, can be produced on a large scale, and typically operate at ambient temperatures and near neutral pH [3–5]. These attributes have captured the attention of generations of scientists and engineers alike and enabled the dramatic growth of the enzyme industry over the past century.
