Enzyme Process Technology
Prof. Dr. Antje Spieß

The research fous of Enzyme Process Technology comprises of the mechanistically motivated description of interactions of enzyme and reaction medium, and of the interactions within reaction networks, with the aim of design of reactors and integrated enzyme-catalysed processes. The modelling of the reaction kinetics forms the starting point for the quantitative understanding, and is thus prerequisited for the design of enzyme-catalysed processes.
