What are the Future Directions in Biotransformations?
Research and development in the field of biotransformations are focusing on:
- _Enzyme Engineering_: Developing more robust enzymes through techniques like directed evolution. - _Metabolic Engineering_: Engineering microorganisms to expand their substrate range and improve yields. - _Integration with Chemical Catalysis_: Combining biotransformations with traditional catalysis to create hybrid processes that leverage the strengths of both approaches.
