Biotransformation

Biotransformation is the biochemical modification of one chemical compound or a mixture of chemical compounds. Biotransformations can be conducted with whole cells, their lysates, or purified enzymes.[1] Increasingly, biotransformations are effected with purified enzymes. Major industries and life-saving technologies depend on biotransformations.[2][3]
