Abstract:
There are a number of chemical transformations that are based on bio catalysis that are among the oldest known to humans. Biocatalysis involves performing chemical reactions on organic compounds through the use of natural catalysts, such as protein enzymes. As part of this task, both enzymes that have been isolated to a greater or lesser extent and enzymes that are still residing inside living cells are utilized. Traditionally, bio catalysis has been used to convert non-natural chemical compounds into natural organic compounds, with biological catalysts being employed as a catalyst to the chemical processing of manmade organic compounds. However, in the past 30 years, bio catalysis has been widely applied to the production of fine chemicals, especially in the pharmaceutical industry. Here, the author emphasizes on the different applications of biocatalysts that can be applied in the pharmaceutical industry, highlighting their utility.
