Enzyme Catalysis in Organic Synthesis

Enzyme Catalysis in Organic Synthesis

Optimized by nature over the millennia, enzymes are catalysts that play a crucial role in the transformation and degradation of essential molecules in living organisms. Biocatalysis and biotransformations have been part of our daily lives for thousands of years, the most obvious examples being the production of beer, wine and vinegar. Most of the enzymes used in biocatalysis today are of microbial origin (bacteria, fungi or yeast), while a few are of plant or mammal origin.

The handbook "Enzyme Catalysis in Organic Synthesis", available as a comprehensive three-volume set, is the standard reference in the field of organic synthesis, catalysis and biocatalysis. Edited by a highly experienced and knowledgeable team with a tremendous amount of experience in this field and its applications, this 3rd, completely revised and enlarged edition retains the successful concept of past editions, while the contents are very much focused on new developments in the field. All the techniques described are directly transferable from the lab to the industrial scale, making for a very application-oriented approach. The must-have book for all chemists and biotechnologists is now available at an introductory price (valid until June 30, 2012).
