Dear Colleagues,

Biotechnology is one of the most promising technologies of our times, and enzyme engineering is an important part of biotechnology. As a biocatalyst, enzymes ave the characteristics of strong specificity, high catalytic efficiency, excellent stereoselectivity, mild reaction conditions, and simple operation. Presently, enzymes are widely used in fields such as food, brewing, textiles, pharmaceuticals, petrochemicals, and the environment. It can improve product quality, reduce labor intensity, save raw materials and energy, protect the environment, and generate huge economic and social benefits. 

This Special Issue on “Advances in Enzyme Biotechnology and Applications in Industry and Environment” seeks high-quality works, focusing on the latest progress and applications of enzyme biotechnology. Topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Expression, purification, and characterization of enzymes;
• Mutation and immobilization of enzymes;
• Chemical modification of enzymes;
• Optimization of enzyme catalysis process;
• Application of enzymes in industry and the environment.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Processes is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
