Write a review

Overview

This stimulating monograph is a much needed response to the increasing use of biocatalysts in organic synthesis. In over 300 well-referenced pages, it

* reviews in detail applications and other aspects of the most widely used enzymes (e.g. hydrolases, oxidoreductases, and baker's yeast) * illustrates with examples the potential in biocatalysis of other, less frequently used enzymes and microorganisms

* discusses general problems of biocatalysis (e.g. stereo-chemistry of transformations, methods of influencing selectivity)

* indicates future trends in biocatalysis.

Researchers and students in preparative organic chemistry, biotechnology and biochemistry will find this up-to-date monograph highly valuable in their daily work.
