BIOCHEMICAL SYNTHESES AND DEGRADATIONS USING ENTRAPPED ENZYMES

摘要

The present invention relates to a method involving enzymatic catalyzed chemical reactions with substrates dissolved in an aqueous solution by means of enzymes. Membrane vesicles, loaded with the enzymes, are placed into the aqueous solution. The substrates move into the membrane vesicles where they are decomposed by means of the enzymes trapped in the vesicles. The substances produced by decomposition move out of the vesicles into the aqueous solution. Finally the decomposed substances are separated from the aqueous solution.
