RESEARCH INTERESTS

Our recent work focuses on developing green enzymatic processes to replace chemical ones; developing enzymatic toolboxes to promote the usage of biocatalysis in chemical synthesis, enantioselective reactions in particular; developing high-performance cellulose-degrading enzymes (systems) for economic production of cellulose-based ethanol. We are applying microorganism screening, microbial metagenome screening, and directed molecular evolution techniques for novel enzyme finding and modification, and developing chemical and biochemical processes to use the enzymes in the production of value-added substances.
