2021/02/16 - 2021/02/16 A sustainable future calls for innovative ways of producing the everyday materials that we take for granted, as well as completely new molecules and substances. One route to this is through the use of non-polluting synthetic biology processes. However, engineering multi-step enzymatic reactions to manufacture these materials remains challenging. Here, Matthew Thompson, Director of Engineering at EnginZyme, discuss his experiences and provide best practice advice on utilizing synthetic biology for enzyme optimization and fine chemical production.

2021/02/11 - 2021/02/12 Enzymes are fascinating catalysts that can provide exquisite stereo-, chemo- and regioselectivity with high turnover numbers. Their application for chemical reactions requires investigation into their reaction mechanism and a myriad of other parameters. NextGenBiocat is brought to you by the H2020 ITN PhotoBioCat consortium, organized by young PIs from TU Delft, Uni Groningen and Uni Graz, NextGenBiocat is directed at young researchers: PhD candidates, postdocs and early-career PIs, to feature their research in the field.
