Abstract
By circumventing many difficulties of conventional synthetic chemistry, biocatalysis represents an innovative and very flexible route to the synthesis of macromolecules and to their modification after synthesis. The NSF-BBM Center of Biocatalysis at Brooklyn Polytechnic University has utstanding expertise in the development of new methods for enzyme-catalyzed polymer synthesis.The US Group has established a synergic cooperation with the Polymer Science Group at Bologna University (UNIBO), based on complementarities of their scientific skills. Stemming from the encouraging results of the ongoing collaboration, this new Project aims at using enzymatic catalysis to explore new environmentally friendly routes to polymers to be employed as constituents of innovative porous supports for cell growthI documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
