Session 17
Enzyme Science and Technology III – Enzyme Discovery and Engineering
Thursday, May 1, 2014: 1:00 PM-4:25 PM
Grand Ballroom D-E, lobby level (Hilton Clearwater Beach)
Conveners:
Alexandre Zanghellini - Arzeda Corp., Seattle, WA and Larry E. Taylor - National Renewable Energy Laboratory, Golden, CO
Naturally occurring enzymes can be powerful tools for bioprocessing but often their characteristics can be improved. In this session will present both newly discovered enzymes and advances in enzyme engineering for improved activity, thermostability, substrate utilization, and process condition tolerance. Improvements in enzymatic lignin deconstruction and progress in reducing the cost of biomass refining enzymes will also be part of this session.
