How are Enzymes Optimized for Industrial Use?

To enhance the performance of enzymes in industrial applications, several strategies are employed:
Protein Engineering: Techniques like directed evolution and rational design are used to improve enzyme stability, activity, and specificity.
Immobilization: Enzymes are attached to solid supports, which can increase their stability and allow for easy separation from the reaction mixture.
Medium Engineering: The reaction environment is optimized by adjusting pH, temperature, and solvent conditions to enhance enzyme activity.
