Enzymatic reaction - biocatalysis schematic

The rise of continuous flow biocatalysis

Although the use of bioreactions within mainstream organic chemistry is established, translation into flow chemistry has been slower. However, in recent years there have been significant advances in the field of flow biocatalysis. In particular, enzyme immobilisation has allowed the development of column or ‘packed-bed’ reactors. Our mini-review highlights a range of recently published enzyme-mediated transformations, where using flow mode often achieves higher yields, faster reaction rates, and better selectivity, as well as increased retention of enzyme activity when compared to the batch process.
