Abstract

Extensive efforts are being made to use biocatalysts for addressing an important millennium development goal i.e. global warming/climate change with recourse to CO2 capture valorisation and storage (CCVS). New advanced enzyme-based catalysts with significantly improved catalytic properties and stability have been discussed in detail with specific reference to carbonic anhydrase for biomimetic CO2 sequestration.
