Abstract

Since new millennia, application of industrial enzymes in manufacturing process including pharmaceuticals, fine chemicals, bio-based chemicals remarkably gained much attention. There is a fundamental limitation to apply industrial enzymes since enzymes have not been evolved to meet the requirements as biocatalysts.
