Synopsis

This SpringerBrief provides a focused overview on the targeted development of chimeric enzymes through advanced enzyme engineering for sustainable applications in the pulp and paper industry. As a cornerstone of societal and economic development, this industry faces increasing pressure to adopt greener practices. The integration of enzymes has already demonstrated significant reductions in chemical usage and energy consumption across various processing stages. However, a key challenge remains the lack of enzyme synergy under diverse industrial conditions. This book addresses that gap by illustrating how enzyme engineering creates robust enzymes capable of performing efficiently in non-ideal environments. Furthermore, it highlights the promise of chimeric, or multifunctional, enzymes to enable simultaneous reactions under a single set of conditions, thereby enhancing overall process efficiency and synergy. This work serves as an invaluable resource for Pulp and Paper Technologists, Biotechnologists, Biochemists, Applied Chemists, and Chemical Engineers.
