Enzyme Recyc­ling in Indus­tri­al Pro­cesses Through Nov­el Peptide-Tags

Inten­tion:
Sol­uble enzymes play an essen­tial role dur­ing the con­ver­sion of renew­able raw mater­i­als, for instance dur­ing the hydro­lys­is of ligno­cel­lu­lose. A tar­geted reuse of biocata­lysts con­trib­utes sig­ni­fic­antly to reduced pro­cess costs, as we already know from vari­ous indus­tri­al-scale pro­cesses. The project’s goal is to estab­lish biopro­cessing meth­ods in which enzymes can be recovered and recycled.
