Harnessing Nature's Toolbox: The Power of Biocatalysis in Green Chemistry

Pranab Sing

This article explores the transformative role of biocatalysis in advancing green chemistry practices. Biocatalysis,
utilizing natural catalysts such as enzymes and whole cells, offers unparalleled selectivity and efficiency in chemical
transformations. With a focus on sustainability, this method minimizes environmental impact through reduced waste
generation and the use of mild reaction conditions. The advantages of biocatalysis extend across diverse applications,
including pharmaceuticals, fine chemicals, and biofuels production. While challenges remain, ongoing research
endeavors aim to enhance enzyme stability and address scalability concerns. As a beacon of innovation in sustainable
technology, biocatalysis is poised to shape the future of environmentally conscious chemical synthesis.
