Ionic liquids: Enzymatic cellulose processing

http://www.spectroscopynow.com/commo...514834b12b.jpgThe promise of room temperature ionic liquids (RTILs) as alternatives to toxic and inflammable volatile organic solvents for green chemistry has been on the boil for at least a couple of decades. Now, team has found that enzymatic activity can be sustained in processing cellulose, from wood, for conversion of this raw material into other useful compounds.
