ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT A 100% yield of an enzymatic reaction is usually not obtained easily. The thermodynamic equilibrium may be unfavorable, competing reactions may occur, or the co-reactants may require recycling by an additional reaction. Some of the most important concepts that are used to optimize the yield are described in this chapter. These concepts are of major importance for
• Reverse hydrolysis reactions • Enantioselective reactions • Redox reactions
In most of the applied bioconversions one or more of such reactions occur.
