title: New applications for biocatalysts.
abstract: Biocatalysis has always been a key focus area in biotechnology and new approaches for the utilization of biocatalysts have continued to emerge over the past year. Significant progress has been made in the biocatalytic production of both synthetic and natural polymers, in the generation of novel biocatalysts using genetic and biochemical approaches or through identification of new biological sources, in the immobilization of biocatalysts and their modification with amphiphilic polymers, and in the modulation of the stereochemistry of enzymatic reactions.
