Enzymy
highly selective
stereospecific
perform complicated reactions:
neutral pH
ambient temperatures
atmospheric pressure
aqueous environment.
Crystallisation Recycle
Advantages
Easy separation from reaction mixture
Re-use of enzyme for many reaction cycles
Lower cost of enzyme
Selective reactions
Increased stability of enzyme
Known engineering technology
Disadvantage
Lower activity than free enzyme
General observations
