Expanding the industrial use of Robust Oxidative Biocatalysts for the conversion and production of alcohols (ROBOX) (ROBOX)

Start date: Apr 1, 2015, End date: Mar 31, 2019,

Oxygen functionalities are key functional groups in many of today’s chemicals and materials. The efficient introduction of oxygen-functionalities into raw materials are key chemical transformations in bulk and fine chemicals. Innovative bio-catalytic oxidation routes using molecular oxygen (from air) under benign and mild (pH) conditions such as ambient temperature and pressure can greatly improve ...

Sucrose Synthase as Cost-Effective Mediator of Glycosylation Reactions (SUSY)

Start date: Sep 1, 2013, End date: Aug 31, 2017,

Glycosyl transferases (GT) are extremely efficient biocatalysts that can be used for the synthesis of special carbohydrates and glycoconjugates. Famous examples of such products include human milk oligosaccharides that serve as prebiotics, and glycosides of flavonoids with improved stability and solubility. Unfortunately, the large-scale application of GT has been hampered by their low operational ...
