Applied Biocatalysis Group

The Applied Biocatalysis Group at CSIC investigates the application of enzymes in different fields, such as sustainable chemistry, functional foods, biomedicine and biofuels.For the industrial development of biocatalytic processes, an effective immobilization method is commonly required to allow the reuse of enzymes and/or continuous processing. Examples of our recent projects include the synthesis of prebiotic oligosaccharides by transglycosylation or the enzymatic preparation of acyl- and glycosyl-derivatives of bioactive antioxidants.Further information in http://www.franciscoploulab.eu/
