Abhishek Chatterjee, Rudi Fasan, and Ania Fryszkowska: Biocatalysis for a sustainable future

Biocatalysis research spans fields from structural biology to process engineering and is an important focus area for Chem Catalysis. Innovative topics within biocatalysis research include engineering enzymes to perform new-to-nature reactions, directed evolution to improve the properties of enzymes, and sequence -structure-function predictive tools for computational protein design. Abhishek Chatterjee (Boston College), Rudi Fasan (University of Rochester), and Ania Fryszkowska (Merck), speakers at a Cell Press LabLinks event on biocatalysis, discuss these exciting new directions in biocatalysis and give their opinions on how biocatalysis can contribute to a more sustainable future.
