Here's the case study for IDP, have a look!

Problem statement: Quest Compbio

We are currently faced with the following real world problem:

A chemical synthesis route is currently used to manufacture a very valuable and highly sought pre-cursor molecule in the consumer goods sector. The synthesis process requires the use of a multi-step process involving harsh conditions (Temperature, Pressure) and the use of highly polluting solvents. The reaction is the following:-

A + B ---> products

We would like to manufacture this using a bio-route under mild conditions using water as the primary solvent.

NOTE: We do not know the exact reaction mechanism.

CLUE 1: Quest Compbio is a computational biology focussed company dealing with protein.

CLUE 2: Think of how a reaction occurs (Transition state theory)

CLUE 3: GOOGLE!
