Biocatalytic Routes to Agrochemical Resorcinol Targets

政府、工业和公众对更环保/可持续的复杂分子途径的需求日益增长。像我们的合作伙伴先正达这样的公司有专门的生物催化团队，正在将这些新工具应用于工业规模。这个新的合作项目将优化新的生物催化级联反应，以合成新型除草剂二酮基序（HDMs），如间苯二酚。这将Campopiano和Wallace （FLF和SL， SBS）聚集在一起，并建立在2020年校长创新奖的初步数据基础上。它属于EPSRC/UKRI的生物催化与工程生物学主题。

There is a growing demand from government, industry and the public for greener/sustainable routes to complex molecules. Companies such as our partner Syngenta have dedicated biocatalysis teams that are applying these new tools on an industrial scale. This new collaborative project will optimise new biocatalytic cascades to the synthesis of novel Herbicidal Dione Motifs (HDMs) such as resorcinols. This brings together Campopiano and Wallace (FLF and SL, SBS) and builds on preliminary data from the Principal's Innovation Award 2020. It falls under the Biocatalysis & Engineering Biology theme of the EPSRC/UKRI.
