biocatalysis
Biocatalysis is the use of biological systems — particularly enzymes — to catalyze chemical reactions, enabling precise and efficient transformations of organic compounds. In plant science, biocatalysis is central to understanding how plants synthesize complex secondary metabolites, from alkaloids to terpenes, through enzymatic pathways. Advances in directed evolution and enzyme engineering allow researchers to probe, replicate, and even enhance these natural biosynthetic processes for applications in medicine, agriculture, and sustainable chemistry.
