Microbial enzymes are high in demand and there is focus on their efficient, cost effective and eco-friendly production. The relevant microbial enzymes for respective industries needs to be identified but the conventional technologies don't have much edge over it. So, there is more attention towards high throughput methods for production of efficient enzymes. The enzymes produced by microbes need to be modified to bear the extreme conditions of the industries in order to get prolific outcomes and here the synthetic biology tools may be augmented to modify such microbes and enzymes. These tools are applied to synthesize novel and efficient enzymes. Use of computational tools for enzyme modification has provided new avenues for faster and specific modification of enzymes in a shorter time period. This review focuses on few important enzymes and their modification through synthetic biology tools including genetic modification, nanotechnology, post translational modification.
