Biocatalysis
Biocatalysis is a field of research that focuses on using biological catalysts, such as enzymes or whole cells, to perform chemical reactions. These biological catalysts are highly specific and efficient, making them valuable in various industries like pharmaceuticals, food, and biofuels. Researchers study how these catalysts work, optimize their performance, and develop new biocatalysts for specific reactions. Biocatalysis offers a sustainable and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional chemical processes.
