Welcome to Sindh Biotechnologist Association

Nanobiocatalysts(NBC) is the convergence of nanotech and biotech to boost enzyme performance in bioprocessing. The bioprocessing capabilities of NBCs are closely scrutinized for their performance evaluation. NBCs show improved catalytic activity and stability through conformational changes upon immobilization and localized nano environments. Research has shown that NBCs have the potential for future bioprocessing manufacturing. Successful lab trials have been done on NBCs for carbohydrate hydrolysis, biofuel production, and biotransformation. Enzyme specificity and selectivity have led to their use in various fascinating applications, such as biocatalysis, biosensors, and biomedicine. Green processes are supported by biocatalysts because of their low chemical consumption and lack of toxic by-products. The main challenges of enzyme-catalyzed bioprocesses are high operating costs due to low enzyme stability and reusability when scaling to industrial processes. This technology can pro...

  IMMOBILIZATION OF ENZYMES: The word "immobilized enzymes" applies to "enzymes that are physically bound or placed in a given area of space with preservation of their catalytic activity and can be used repeatedly and continuously."  Because of their superiority over soluble enzymes, immobilized enzymes are currently the topic of great concern. The immobilization techniques are the foundation for producing a variety of biotechnology items with use in diagnostics, bio-affinity chromatography, and biosensors, besides their usage in industrial processes. Initially, only immobilized single enzymes were used, and more complicated mechanisms were formed after the 1970s including two-enzyme reactions with cofactor regeneration and living cells. Enzymes Enzymes are considered to be extremely powerful and reliable catalysts in a broad spectrum in processes distinguished by strong selectivity and action. In addition, enzymes may minimize the number of reaction steps and the...
