Enzymes are promising catalysts for organic synthesis, and which enable efficient and sustainable manufacturing processes; thus, they represent an attractive alternative to conventional methods. We combine rational protein engineering and directed evolution with bioinformatics tools to identify enzymes and peptides for new reactions as well as to improve activities and selectivities. These biocatalysts can be used as isolated enzymes or combined in cascades with other biocatalysts.
