Abstract
A method of increasing the rate of conversion of reactants to reaction product of enzyme catalyzed, reversible, i.e., equilibrium, reactions having water or methanol as byproduct includes removing water and/or methanol from the reaction mass during reaction by permeation of the reaction mass through a selectively permeable perfluorinated polymer or copolymer membrane.
