Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
On the quest to a more sustainable society, it is important to replace energy-intensive and environmentally harmful reactions from the thermochemical industry with alternative processes.
Biocatalysis is essential to life and could play an important role in the further improvement of our lives by addressing some of the new challenges that human society is facing. Compared to conventional methods, biocatalysis has advantages such as high stereo-, regio-, and chemoselectivity, efficient catalysis, complex and straightforward transformations, a low rate of byproduct formation, inexpensive refining and purification (uncomplicated), and mild reaction conditions. All of these peculiarities emphasize the potential of biocatalysis as an important tool to accomplish environmentally friendly and sustainable synthesis, reducing the time, cost, waste, and energy consumption of the overall process.
To promote the deployment of biocatalysts in industrial-level applications, we invite submissions of innovative research addressing the "Current State-of-the-Art of Biocatalysts".
Subject areas covered in this Special Issue include, but are not limited to:
- Biocatalyst utilization and applications in the food industry;
- New trends in pharmaceutical biocatalysis;
- Advances in industrial biocatalyst applications;
- Waste-based biocatalysts;
- Biocatalytic microbial conversion;
- Biocatalytic synthesis of bioactive compounds.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Catalysts is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
