Activity

Traditional chemical processes for fine and bulk chemicals production present many drawbacks making them poorly environmental and economically sustainable. On the other hand, biotransformation may be a promising alternative for the production of high-value molecules due to the mild reaction conditions, the low environmental impact and high chemo and stereoselectivity. 

Among fungal enzymes, laccases and enoate reductases are here investigated as biocatalysts, able to act towards precursors of flavours, polymers, antioxidants, anticoagulants and pharmaceuticals.
