Examples of bitfields that benefit from enzymes
• Biofuel production • Agriculture • Fermentations • Biotransformations • Pharmaceutical industry • Diagnose of disease • Treatment of disease
Biofuel production examples
• Biodiesel • Alcohol from sugar cane
Agricultural examples
• Animal feed additives • Fertilizers
Fermentations
transformation of raw materials such as sugars and starches in industrial mixes such as liquors and brewing.
Biotransformations
transformation of defined precursors to a desired target product. • Environmentally friendly processes to treat waste
Pharmaceutical industry
synthesis and modification of antibiotics and medicine
Diagnoses of disease
increased or decreased concentrations of enzyme activity in the target system (liver, kidney, muscle)
Treatment of disease
use of streptokinase to dissolve blood cells
