Enzyme Application in Sustainable Processes and Industrial Biocatalysis

Dear Colleagues,

Enzymes are a class of macromolecules with a wide range of applications in industrial processes due to their catalytic activity, as they can selectively modify a unique substrate in a complex matrix under mild experimental conditions. Compared with other catalysts, these biocatalysts have multiple advantages including sustainability, specificity, activity, and catalytic efficiency.

At present, only a small number of the known enzymes present in nature are used in industry. Moreover, they must be optimized for biotechnological use. For this reason, enzyme engineering has emerged as an interesting technology to customize biocatalysts with improved properties to obtain new ingredients and high-quality products under the principles of green chemistry.

Thus, this Special Issue is focused on enzyme application in industrial processes; original research articles and reviews are welcome and encouraged.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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. Processes is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2400 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.
