Approximately 75,000 enzymes are thought to exist in the human body as vital catalysts for biochemical reactions or conversions. For hundreds of years, we have found myriad uses for microbial enzymes in manufacturing – from food, drink, and household products to a range of industrial applications. The pharmaceutical industry often relies on enzymes to perform a process known as biocatalysis, which facilitates the cost-effective and sustainable production of small molecule drugs at scale.
