What are the advantages of using DERA in biocatalysis?
Using DERA in biocatalysis offers several advantages. First, the enzyme operates under mild conditions, such as ambient temperature and neutral pH, which reduces the need for harsh chemicals and extreme conditions. This not only makes the process more environmentally friendly but also reduces costs. Second, DERA exhibits high stereospecificity and regioselectivity, leading to fewer side products and higher yields of the desired product. Third, the enzyme can be engineered through protein engineering to enhance its stability and activity, broadening its range of applications.
