Overview

Hydrolysis is a chemical reaction in which a molecule is split into smaller parts by the addition of water, with the water molecule itself being divided so that its components are incorporated into the products. It is one of the most fundamental processes in chemistry and biology, underlying the breakdown of large molecules such as carbohydrates, proteins, and fats into simpler units. Hydrolysis can be driven by acids, bases, heat, or enzymes, the last of which carry out highly specific hydrolysis reactions essential to life, including digestion and the recycling of biological materials. The reaction has broad applications in chemical synthesis, the processing of foods and biomass, and industrial production. Research published in this journal addresses hydrolysis directly, including the synthesis of N-glycosyl amides through the hydrolysis of protected glycosyl oxazolines and the enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulose using cellulases from thermophilic microorganisms. Related work on enzymes and the breakdown of complex carbohydrates and other materials further reflects the central role of hydrolytic reactions in converting raw substrates into useful products. This page sits within the peer-reviewed, open-access scope of the journal and gathers research relevant to hydrolysis, enzymatic and chemical breakdown of molecules, and developments in chemistry.
