BBL447 : Enzyme Catalyzed Organic Synthesis
[edit]Enzymes as biocatalysts. Various reaction media for enzyme catalyzed reaction [water, water poor media such as organic solvents, ionic liquids] and mixed solvents. Advantages of medium engineering. Fundamentals of non-aqueous enzymology [pH memory, molecular imprinting]. Improving biocatalysis in water and water poor media [chemical modification, immobilization, applications of protein engineering/directed evolution]. Enzyme promiscuity and its applications in organic synthesis. Biocatalytic applications in organic synthesis, hydrolytic reactions, oxidation reduction reactions, formation of C-C bond, addition and elimination reactions, glycosyl transfer reactions, isomerization, halogenation/dehalogenation reactions.
