FLOW CHEMISTRY

Let’s stick together for continuous flow biocatalysis

Nature Catalysis volume 2, pages 951–952 (2019)Cite this article

Subjects

Fusion systems have been designed that link enzymes to cofactors and immobilization modules through appropriate synthetic spacers. These modular biocatalysts (assembling catalysis, cofactor provision/regeneration and assisted immobilization) are suited to heterogeneous biocatalysis systems and can be efficiently used in continuous flow reactors.
