Enzymes, the workhorses of various industrial processes, are gaining significant headway in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries. Industrial enzyme uses are evolving for the food processing, detergent, animal, feed and fuel alcohol markets. Some new uses include human enzymes as therapeutics, enzyme inhibitors used in therapy, and enzymes used in "green chemistry" and biocatalysis. Enzyme usage has also taken on a new synthetic life, as they are evolved to carry out reactions for which they were never "designed." It is abundantly clear that a bright, and competitive, future is in store for the use of enzymes.

Much progress has been made over the last five years in the engineering of enzymes through various techniques, from evolution to rational design. Learn about the latest enzyme production techniques when you order D&MD's Commercial Opportunities in Enzyme Technology, 3rd Edition.
