Re-Paving the Road Built by Chemistry: A Challenge to Biochemistry and Biotechnology

Biotechnology and Green Chemistry

White biotechnology can be regarded as applied biocatalysis, with enzymes and microorganisms, aiming at industrial production of bulk and fine chemicals to food and animal feed additives. In its turn biocatalysis has many attractive features in the context of greenchemistry: mild reaction conditions (physiological pH and temperature); environmentally compatible catalysts and solvent (often wate...

Vitamin B12: chemistry and biochemistry.

Vitamin B12, the 'antipernicious anaemia factor', is required for human and animal metabolism. It was discovered in the late 1940s and its unique corrin ligand was revealed approx. 10 years later by X-ray crystallography. The B12-coenzymes are cofactors in various important enzymatic reactions and are particularly relevant in the metabolism of anaerobic microorganisms. Microorganisms are the on...

Chemistry 472B BIOTECHNOLOGY LABORATORY MANUAL

This should be a brief version of the entire paper. It therefore should include a brief introduction, methods, results, and discussion, expressed in ~200 words. This truncation is normally achieved in part by greatly abbreviating the methods portion, unless the methods involved are novel or are crucial to understanding the findings presented. Thousands of papers are published every week. Most l...
