A catalyst is necessary for many chemical reactions. An enzyme is also a catalyst,
although it is more complex than ordinary chemical catalysts. Enzymes are specific
proteins in biological cells, and almost all chemical reactions in vivo are carried out
by relying on enzyme catalysis.
Under the effects of enzyme or enzyme-containing microorganisms, biomass can
be highly efficient and cleanly and economically converted into useful chemical
substances that originate from mineral raw materials such as oil, natural gas, coal,
and the like. Then, the application of renewable biomass resource has economic
value. Therefore, it can be proposed that the enzyme is the key to open the high-
value utilization of renewable resources.
This topic focuses on the biotechnology principle and application in the devel-
opment process of natural lignocellulose from the aspects of composition, structure,
and physical and chemical characteristics of natural lignocellulose.
