SYNTHETIC EXPLOITATION OF ENZYMES: BIOCATALYSIS IN ORGANIC SOLVENTS: FUNDAMENTALS ENZYMES IN ORGANIC SYNTHESIS 1. Enzymes catalyze a broad spectrum of reactions with high turnover numbers. Rate enhancements approach 1012 fold. 2. Enzymes may accept a wide range of substrates. 3. Enzymes are highly regio and stereoselective. 4. Enzyme reactions take place under mild conditions; this minimizes problems of isomerization and racemization. 5. Enzymatic processes are less hazardous and polluting

The Benefits of Organic Food—Draft #1 Organic food‚ once only found in health food stores‚ is now a consistent element at local supermarkets. So what is the difference between a conventionally grown apple and an organic one? The answer is in the way the crop is grown and what it is and is not exposed to. In order to be labeled “organic” the farmer who grew it used renewable resources and conservation of soil and water methods. Also‚ organic farmers do not use conventional pesticides or weed killers

This experiment has been carried out to observe whether the hamster prefers organic or conventional foods better. Hammy was put into the place where there were two identical pieces of food‚ one organic‚ one conventional and it gets to choose either of them to eat. The reason hamster is used instead of the human is because it is unbiased‚ it judges the food from the smells unlike human that we have more complex thinking and tends to be considering about other things. Also‚ the human body is not good

ESTERIFICATION SYNTHESIS OF PEAR OIL One of the major uses of Esterification (C(=O)-C-R) is forming compounds with different odors which can be used to make different synthetic and natural flavorings. Using the chemical and physical properties of organic compounds‚ an ester was catalyzed from the reaction of a carboxylic acid with an alcohol‚ producing an odor similar to that of pear oil. The mechanism of this Fischer- Esterification process is outlined as follows:
