Enhancing the performance of existing industrial enzymes through the application of new chemical modification technology

酶在工业中有许多用途，可以取代对人类和动物健康及环境造成不利影响的有害化学物质。酶在有效性、生物降解性、特异性和安全性方面具有优势。在工业应用中，人们对酶的担忧是，恶劣的化学和/或物理环境会降低酶的性能。这项研究的目的是通过提高对化学和物理降解或失活的抵抗力来改善具有工业意义的酶的性能。这将通过使用我们开发的新技术修改酶来实现。这将提高现有工业酶的成本效益，并为酶的新用途创造机会。

Enzymes have many uses in industry, replacing undesirable chemicals which adversely effect human & animal health & the environment. Enzymes offer advantages in effectiveness, biodegradability, specificity and safety. The concern with enzymes, in industrial applications, is that enzyme performance is degraded by a harsh chemical and/or physical environment. The aim of this study is to improve the performance of industrially significant enzymes by enhancing resistance to chemical & physical degradation or inactivation. This will be achieved by modifying the enzymes using new technology that we have developed. This will improve cost effectiveness of existing industrial enzymes & create opportunities for new uses of enzymes.
