Session 33: Enzymes from extreme environments: Exploring the diversity, activity and industrial use of enzymes that function in extreme conditions
Thursday, July 28, 2016: 2:00 PM-5:30 PM
Grand Chenier, 5th Fl (Sheraton New Orleans)
Conveners:
Janet Westpheling - University of Georgia, Athens, GA, and BioEnergy Science Center, Biosciences Division of DOE, Oak Ridge National Laboratory and Jenny M. Blamey - Swissaustral USA, LLC
Enzymes from extreme environments provide novel activities for industrial application as well as the investigation and understanding of enzyme structure and function. Recent advances in model driven protein engineering have facilitated industrial processes from biomass deconstruction to novel product synthesis. Approaches to the investigation of enzyme function and the application of enzymes for specialized function will be discussed.
