Session 13: Enzymes for Hydrolysis of Lignocellulosics Sponsored by Novozymes
Tuesday, July 22, 2014: 1:00 PM-4:30 PM
Regency Ballroom C, Second Floor (St. Louis Hyatt Regency at the Arch)
Conveners:
Michael Resch - National Renewable Energy Laboratory, Golden, CO and Debbie S. Yaver - Novozymes, Davis, CA
To enable next generation fuel and chemical production from lignocellulosic biomass, cost effective biocatalysts for hydrolysis are essential. This session will include recent discoveries from academia, government labs and industrial research efforts. Presentations will include results on enzyme mechanism discoveries, novel biochemical assays, computational modeling and recent advances towards commercialization.
