Abstract
Biocatalysts provide an excellent opportunity to decrease waste of organic syntheses for green chemistry applications. Their regio-, stereo-, and chemoselectivity provides additional avenues for green syntheses of complex fine chemicals and pharmaceuticals. Here we present an introduction to current methods for the development of biocatalysts for industrial application, and we focus on three case studies that explore biocatalysts that facilitate C. C bond formation: terpenoid synthases, polyketide synthases and nonribosomal peptide synthetases, and Diels-Alderase ribozymes.
