The journal is an international forum devoted to research and developments in the applications of whole-cell
and cell-free enzymes as catalysts in organic synthesis. Emphasis is focused on mechanistic and synthetic aspects of the biocatalytic
transformation.
Papers should report novel and significant advances in one or more of the following topics;
• Applied
and fundamental studies of enzymes used for biocatalysis;
• Industrial applications of enzymatic processes, e.g. in fine chemical
synthesis;
• Chemo-, regio- and enantioselective transformations;
• Screening for biocatalysts;
• Integration
of biocatalytic and chemical steps in organic syntheses;
• Novel biocatalysts, e.g. enzymes from extremophiles and catalytic
antibodies;
• Enzyme immobilization and stabilization, particularly in non-conventional media;
• Bioprocess engineering
aspects, e.g. membrane bioreactors;
• Improvement of catalytic performance of enzymes, e.g. by protein engineering or chemical
modification;
• Structural studies, including computer simulation, relating to substrate specificity and reaction selectivity;
• Biomimetic studies related to enzymatic transformations.
