Overview

Biocatalysis in Green Solvents offers a pragmatic overview and instruction in biocatalysis and enzymology of green solvents for sustainable industries and medicine, running from concept to application. Here, international experts in the field discuss structure-function relationships of enzymes in ionic liquids (ILs) and examine how enzymes act as selective catalysts for fine biochemical synthesis in non-aqueous environments. Several integral green biochemical processes of biocatalytic transformation and pure product separation are described in detail. Application focused chapters discuss the role of biocatalysis in creating and implementing deep eutectic solvents, biomass derived solvents, sub and supercritical fluids, carbon dioxide biphasic systems, and enzymatic membrane reactors, as well as applying these biocatalytic processes in drug discovery and production.

Author Information

Dr. Pedro Lozano is a Professor of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the University of Murcia in Murcia, Spain. Born in Ceuti, Spain in 1961, Prof. Lozano received his PhD at the University of Murcia in 1988. Between 1990 and 1991, he spent two years at the Centre de Bioingénierie Gilbert Durand, Toulouse (France) as a post-doctoral fellow. In 1993, he returned to the University of Murcia (Spain) as Lecturer in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, later being promoted to Full Professor in 2004. His research activity has always been related to enzyme technology in ionic liquids and supercritical fluids. In 2002, he published a paper on the first continuous green biocatalytic reactor, based on the combination of enzymes with ILs and scCO2 able to directly provide pure products.
