What Are the Advantages of Biotechnological Catalysis?
Biotechnological catalysis offers several advantages: - Sustainability: Enzymes are biodegradable and can be produced from renewable resources. - Mild Reaction Conditions: Enzymes typically function at ambient temperatures and pressures, reducing the need for harsh chemicals and extreme conditions. - High Selectivity: Biocatalysts exhibit high specificity for their substrates, minimizing the formation of by-products and enhancing yield. - Environmental Benefits: Reduced energy consumption and waste generation make biocatalytic processes environmentally friendly.
