Abstract:Development of efficient enzymatic reaction cascades necessitates individual and careful handling of reaction conditions, which may differ from one enzymatic step to another one. Compartmentalization is a key solution that can be either done under static or flow conditions. The recent developments enable the use of different strategies, materials and set-ups, which can be applied based on the requirements of different bioprocesses.
“…Eutectic mixtures are obtained mixing Lewis or Brønsted acids and bases containing a variety of anionic and/or cationic species. [255][256][257] However, the final solvent has a lower intrinsic toxicity compared to ionic liquids, making them to promising substitutes. 258 Its main disadvantage is the high viscosity (which depends on the starting materials) being a problem for the scale-up of the process, but it can be easily overcome by mixing them with other (co)solvents.…”
Biocatalysis community has witnessed a drastic increase in the number of studies for the use of enzymes in continuously operated flow reactors. This significant interest arose from the possibility of...

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
