Cloud computing is a system, where the resources of a data center are shared using virtualization technology, such that it provides elastic, on demand and instant services to its customers and charges them based on the resources they use. In this chapter, we will discuss recent developments in cloud computing, various security issues and challenges associated with Cloud computing environment, various existing solutions provided for dealing with these security threats and will provide a comparative analysis these approaches. This will provide better understanding of the various security problems associated with the cloud, current solution space, and future research scope to deal with such attacks in better way.

The introduction of a halogen atom into a small molecule can effectively modulate its properties, yielding bioactive substances of agrochemical and pharmaceutical interest. Consequently, the development of selective halogenation strategies is of high technological value. Besides chemical methodologies, enzymatic halogenations have received increased interest as they allow the selective installation of halogen atoms in molecular scaffolds of varying complexity under mild reaction conditions. Today, a comprehensive library of aromatic halogenases exists, and enzyme as well as reaction engineering approaches are being explored to broaden this enzyme family’s biocatalytic application range. In this review, we highlight recent developments in the sourcing, engineering, and application of flavin-dependent halogenases with a special focus on chemoenzymatic and coupled biosynthetic approaches.

Metallo-β-lactamases (MBLs) are a family of Zn(II)-dependent enzymes that can hydrolyze almost all β-lactam antibiotics. Horizontal transfer of the genes encoding MBLs among Gram-negative bacteria pathogens has led to the emergence of extensively drug-resistant pathogens, which now represent a major threat to human health. As there is not to date yet a clinically available MBL inhibitor, the discovery of new MBL inhibitors has great urgency. This review highlights the recent developments in the discovery of small-molecule MBL inhibitors.
