  3. Biocatalysts - trends Davenport, R. VOL. 4 NO. 1 March 2008 INDUSTRIAL BIOTECHNOLOGY

  4. Biocatalysts - Bottlenecks • Finding the right markers (M) • Vast amount of genetic data (M, PE)  amount of DNA, processing many clones and sequences, library strategies • Vast amount of gene products (M, PE, BD)  purity, activity, selectivity • Effective screening of activity (M, PE, BD)data mining, gene isolation, product isolation • Adjustable product-gene expression, inteference-free operation (BD) Metagenomics”finding Enzymes” Protein Engineering”making enzymes” Bioprocess Development”using enzymes”
