Book Description
The book covers the fundamentals of the field of biocatalysis that are not treated in such detail (or even not at all) in existing biocatalysis books or biochemistry textbooks. It of course does not substitute existing biochemistry textbooks but will serve a suitable supplement as it discusses biochemical fundamentals in connection with the respective topics.With focus on the interdisciplinary nature of biocatalysis, the book contains many aspects of fundamental organic chemistry and some of inorganic chemistry as well, which should make it interesting not only for biochemistry but also for chemistry students. An important theme being emphasized in the book is that applied biocatalysis is one of the main prerequisites for a sustainable development.The topics covered ranges from basic enzyme chemistry (biosynthesis, structure, properties, interaction forces, kinetics) to a detailed description of catalytic mechanisms. It covers the fundamentals of the different enzyme classes together with their applications in native and in immobilized state or in the form of whole cells in aqueous as well as non-conventional media. Topics such as catalytic antibodies, nucleic acid catalysts, non-ribosomal peptide synthesis, evolutionary methods, and the design of cells are also included.

Book Description
Mittlerweile nutzen alle so genannten Life Sciences (z.B. Pharma- und Ernährungswissenschaften) die Möglichkeiten der Biokatalyse. Auch das Interesse der verarbeitenden Industrie an umweltverträglichen Prozessen wächst stetig. Da kommt es nicht von ungefähr, dass die Erforschung von Biokatalysatoren weiter vorangeschritten ist als die anderer Katalysatorentypen. Biocatalysis gibt einen aktuellen Überblick über das Wissen in diesem Gebiet, von den theoretischen Grundlagen bis hin zu Anwendungen und einem Ausblick in die Zukunft. Bommarius und Riebel geht es in ihrem Buch nicht nur um Reaktionen, Produkte und Prozesse im Zusammenhang mit biologischen Katalysen und Katalysatoren. Sie erläutern auch den Prozess der Entwicklung und Verbesserung von Biokatalysatoren. Dabei schenken sie den Bereichen Chemie, Biologie und Biotechnologie die gleiche Aufmerksamkeit, so dass ihr Buch für Praktiker und Studenten aus allen drei Bereichen von Nutzen ist. Biocatalysis gliedert sich in die Abschnitte "Grundlagen und Basis-Tools", "Fortgeschrittene Tools" sowie "Anwendungen". Im ersten Teil gehen die Autoren unter anderem auf die Stellung der Biokatalyse in der Biotechnologie ein, beschreiben Isolierung und Vorbereitung von Mikroorganismen und stellen molekularbiologische Tools für die Biokatalyse vor. Teil II beschreibt zum Beispiel die Enzymherstellung sowie Methoden zur Protein-Untersuchung und beschäftigt sich mit pharmazeutischen Anwendungen der Biokatalyse und der Bioinformatik. Im letzten Abschnitt geht es schließlich um künstliche Enzyme, das Design biokatalytischer Prozesse und um neue Möglichkeiten, die sich durch den Einsatz der Bioinformatik eröffnen.

Enzyme Biocatalysis
Author: Andrés Illanes
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1402083610
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 398
Book Description
This book was written with the purpose of providing a sound basis for the design of enzymatic reactions based on kinetic principles, but also to give an updated vision of the potentials and limitations of biocatalysis, especially with respect to recent app- cations in processes of organic synthesis. The ?rst ?ve chapters are structured in the form of a textbook, going from the basic principles of enzyme structure and fu- tion to reactor design for homogeneous systems with soluble enzymes and hete- geneous systems with immobilized enzymes. The last chapter of the book is divided into six sections that represent illustrative case studies of biocatalytic processes of industrial relevance or potential, written by experts in the respective ?elds. We sincerely hope that this book will represent an element in the toolbox of gr- uate students in applied biology and chemical and biochemical engineering and also of undergraduate students with formal training in organic chemistry, biochemistry, thermodynamics and chemical reaction kinetics. Beyond that, the book pretends also to illustrate the potential of biocatalytic processes with case studies in the ?eld of organic synthesis, which we hope will be of interest for the academia and prof- sionals involved in R&D&I. If some of our young readers are encouraged to engage or persevere in their work in biocatalysis this will certainly be our more precious reward.

Marine Enzymes for Biocatalysis
Author: Antonio Trincone
Publisher: Elsevier
ISBN: 1908818352
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 576
Book Description
Marine bioprospecting is a highly topical subject - in both applied and basic research - but, as yet, the marine ecosystem is a relatively unexplored source of natural bioactive substances with potential therapeutic activity. This book addresses the use of marine enzymes in biocatalysis through a series of chapters from leading scientists within academic and industrial fields. Biocatalytic processes can take advantage of the habitat-related properties of marine enzymes, such as salt tolerance, hyperthermostability, barophilicity, cold adaptivity, and so on, whilst also taking into consideration substrate specificity and affinity. These evolved properties are linked to the metabolic functions of the enzymes and to the ecological aspects of the natural source. New properties can also be discovered at the molecular level of catalysis, particularly concerning the stereochemical characteristics of products.Marine enzymes for biocatalysis initially examines the nature and level of interest in marine biological diversity, and outlines the fundamentals of biocatalysis. It goes on to detail sources of marine enzymes, and to analyse examples from both chemical and stereochemical viewpoints of catalysis, including microbial enzymes and animal or plant sources. The book goes on to explore the future potential of marine bioprospecting in biocatalysis. - Compiles studies from leading scientists in a direct and accessible format. Includes practical descriptions of results, adding further details not often covered in formal articles - Takes a molecular view which fully explains the enzymatic aspects of reactions, particularly regarding biocatalytic characteristics and descriptions of bioprocesses - Selects examples of chemical and stereochemical aspects of enzymatic action with respect to known terrestrial counterparts
