ROBOX technology for your application? The H2020 project ROBOX aims to widen the industrial application of enzymatic bio-oxidation processes to new and also larger volume and lower price markets. The project has now been running for 2½ years and some successful demonstrations have already been carried out, which means that the consortium is increasingly focussing…
Medieval Site Hosts Modern Cutting-Edge Science! The idyllic surroundings of the 14th century Carthusian monastery Certosa di Pontignano, the official conference center of the Universitá degli studi di Siena (Italy), hosted an international Summer School on Biocatalysis as a Key Enabling Technology from 3 – 6 October 2017. Chaired by Professor Fessner from the Technische…
RUG made a significant contribution to this paper on enzyme improvement Manipulating the stereoselectivity of the thermostable Baeyer–Villiger monooxygenase TmCHMO by directed evolution Abstract UAB have led the publication of a collaborative ROBOX paper An immobilized and highly stabilized self-sufficient monooxygenase as biocatalyst for oxidative biotransformations Full Paper UNIMAN publish a new paper on…
There was a recent meeting of RUG, Innosyn, Chemstream, DTU and UM to develop collaboration between these workpackages to improve the transfer of technology to demonstration and allow metric calculations
