In fact, the latest advances in bioinformatics, system biology, process intensification, and, in particular, enzyme-directed evolution (encouraged by the 2018 Nobel Prize awarded to F. Arnold), are widening the range of the efficacy of biocatalysts and accelerating the rate at which new enzymes are becoming available, even for activities not previously known. European scientists have been very actively involved in different aspects of this field. Nine contributions dealing with different aspects of applied biocatalysis developed by European researchers are gathered in this Special IssueApplied Biocatalysis in EuropeResearch & information: generalbicsscactive site tunnelsaculeacin acylaseArabidopsis thalianaAspergillusasymmetric synthesisbatchbiocatalysisbiofoulingcandida antarctica lipase Acastor oilcheese wheyconfiguration inversionconformational dynamicscontinuous flowCOSMO-RSestolidesethanolysisfermentationfilamentous fungifungal resting cellsgenetic engineeringGeobacillus thermocatenolatusglycosidasesHalohydrin dehalogenasesheterologous expressionHis-taghydroxynitrile lyaseimmobilizationionic liquidsisomerasesketone body esterkinetic resolutionlipaselipasesmandelic acidmolecular dynamics simulationsmonkfish liver oilN-acyl-homoserine lactone acylasesn/aomega-3 ethyl estersoxynitrilasepenicillin acylasePichia pastorisquorum quenchingrare sugarsrecombinant proteinsecretionselectivitysustainable chemistrysweetenerstranscriptional regulationResearch & information: generalPlou Francisco JedtAlcantara Andres RothBOOK9910557544903321Applied Biocatalysis in Europe: A Sustainable Tool for Improving Life Quality4404399UNINA
