Abstract
Enzymes are the catalytically active proteins, responsible for carrying out biochemistry in nature. Today, they are also finding use as catalysts in organic chemistry, both in the laboratory as well as in large-scale manufacturing of chemicals in industry. Their special properties enable sustainable syntheses, supported by tools such as protein engineering so they can be tuned to operate efficiently, thereby meeting industrial requirements.
