In recent years, the drive towards cleaner technologies has made us more aware of the need for green and sustainable methodologies for chemical synthesis. It is here that enzymes are beneficial due to mild reaction conditions, biodegradability and using mainly water as a solvent, which makes enzymes catalysis more environmentally friendly than organic synthesis routes1,2,3. Additionally, enzymes provide high activities and can be very substrate-specific leading to better yields. Enzymes applications in industry include the food and detergent industry, biomedical applications and the paper processing industry.
