Chimeric Enzymes Showing Promise in Pulp and Paper Sector
暫譯: 在紙漿和造紙領域顯示潛力的嵌合酶

這本SpringerBrief提供了針對木漿和造紙產業可持續應用的嵌合酶的目標開發的集中概述。作為社會和經濟發展的基石，這個產業面臨著越來越大的壓力，要求採用更環保的做法。酶的整合已經在各種加工階段顯示出顯著減少化學品使用和能源消耗的效果。然而，一個主要挑戰仍然是缺乏在多樣化工業條件下的酶協同作用。本書通過說明酶工程如何創造出能夠在非理想環境中高效運作的穩健酶，來填補這一空白。此外，本書還強調了嵌合酶或多功能酶的潛力，這些酶能夠在單一條件下同時進行反應，從而提高整體過程的效率和協同作用。本書對於木漿和造紙技術專家、生物技術專家、生物化學家、應用化學家和化學工程師來說，是一個寶貴的資源。
