Description
In Future Directions in Biocatalysis the important topics within biocatalysis and enzymatic catalysis for organic synthesis
are described for both experts and non-experts. This books focuses particularly on reactions under development at present and on future
advances in the field.
Consisting of four sections, this book examines enzymatic reactions under unusual conditions, unique biocatalytic
reactions, synthesis of valuable compounds using biocatalysis and the latest molecular biology methods for biocatalysis. Each chapter
deals with a specific theme and includes a summary of each area as well as the present state and future direction of research.
Audience
Professors, post-doc and graduate students, researchers and consultants in industry
