Research projects

Development of (partly) enzyme driven synthetic processes as alternatives or add-ons to already existing technology can only rarely make use of well-known enzymes. Mostly, an enzyme with the required features is either not available or propriety material. Moreover, reaction intensity, scale and handling traditions set tasks that can hardly be accomplished by a native biomolecule. Research of team MBT is dedicated to the rational development of synthetically applicable biocatalyst preparations covering all steps from identification of natural starter molecules to demonstration of technical applicability. Demands of application are the central lead of development, while current projects focus on either of three fields.
