Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Within the booming food biotechnology industry, enzymes are crucial for improving the structure of food products. New developments in biotech have transformed enzyme technologies to meet the food industry's changing demands. There has been a strong push for innovation in enzyme discovery and the creation of customized enzymes for food applications. Modern enzyme informatics tools help us design enzyme structures and understand their reaction mechanisms through simulations. The combination of enzyme informatics and high-throughput technologies also further boosts the compatibility of the biotransformers used in catalytic reactions.
This Special Issue aims to explore the latest frontiers in enzyme technology, showcasing how it endows biocatalysts with diverse functions and generates new opportunities in the food biotechnology sector.
