Prospects for enzymatic synthesis processes on an industrial scale depend upon development of a practical process for ATP regeneration. The relative merits of various routes to ATP regeneration involving chemical synthesis, whole cells or organelles, or cell free enzymes are evaluated. The most promising route involves one or more enzyme incorporating the reaction catalyzed by acetate kinase for ADP phosphorylation.
