Enzyme and Biocatalysis Application

Dear Colleagues,

Enzymes, with their remarkable specificity, catalyze key reactions essential for various processes that are widely used for pharmaceuticals, biochemical synthesis, agriculture science, food science and environmental remediation. The Special Issue on Enzyme and Biocatalysis Application aims to showcase the latest advancements, methodologies, and applications of enzyme and biocatalysis. It welcomes contributions that explore various aspects of enzyme application, as well as innovative biocatalytic processes in the fields of pharmaceuticals, biochemical synthesis, biotechnology, food science, and environmental remediation. This includes enzyme production, biocatalytic process development, enzymatic synthesis, biotransformation, enzyme engineering and enzyme immobilization. In this Special Issue, we welcome original research articles and reviews focused on all aspects of enzymes applications, such as biocatalysis, process optimization, ultrasonic process, fine chemical production, enzymatic-assisted extraction, enzyme production, biocatalytic processes, environmental protection, bio-reactors, food processes, biomass utilization, bioresource application, bio-transformations, enzymology, biological activity, enzymatic synthesis of value-added chemicals, nanotechnology; environment and biodiversity; and bioremediation and so on. Overall, it aims to highlight the significance of enzymes and biocatalysis in addressing global challenges and advancing sustainable solutions.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Catalysts is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
