Abstract
Biocatalysis inherently offers the prospect of clean industrial processing and has become an accepted technology throughout most sectors. The converge nce of biology and chemistry has enabled a plethora of industrial opportuni ties to be targeted, while discoveries in biodiversity and the impact of mo lecular biology and computational science are extending the range of natura l and engineered biocatalysts that can be customised for clean industrial r equirements.
