Riassunto

Recent developments in genetic engineering and protein chemistry are bringing ever more powerful means of analysis to bear on the study of enzyme structure. This volume reviews the most important types of industrial enzymes. In a balanced manner it covers three interrelated aspects of paramount importance for enzyme performance: three-dimensional protein structure, physicochemical and catalytic properties, and the range of both classical and novel applications.

Recensione:

From the reviews:

"This is a book worth adding in one’s collection and is most suitable for advanced students and professionals. This compendium consists of in-depth reviews prepared by authoritative sources. It is extremely informative, presenting detailed facts on the history, sources, active sites, reaction mechanisms, substrate specificities, structures (native and redesigned), and applications for 34 classes of enzymes that have industrial applications. ... Summing Up: Recommended. Graduate students through professionals." (J. M. Tomich, CHOICE, Vol. v4 (3), November, 2007)
