ABSTRACT
Oxidoreductases comprise the large class of enzymes that catalyze biological oxidation/reduction reactions. Because many chemical and biochemical transformations involve oxidation/reduction processes, developing practical biocatalytic applications of oxidoreductases has long been an important goal in biotechnology. During the past year, significant progress has been made in the development of oxidoreductase-based diagnostic tests and improved biosensors, in the design of innovative systems for regeneration of essential coenzymes, in the construction bioreactors for biodegradation of pollutants and for biomass processing, and in the development of oxidoreductase-based approaches for synthesis of polymers and oxyfunctionalized organic substrates.
