This well-established textbook on biocatalysis provides a basis for
undergraduate and graduate courses in modern organic chemistry, as
well as a condensed introduction into this field. After a basic
introduction into the use of biocatalysts-principles of
stereoselective transformations, enzyme properties and kinetics-the
different types of reactions are explained according to the
'reaction principle', such as hydrolysis, reduction, oxidation, C-C
bond formation, etc. Special techniques, such as the use of enzymes
in organic solvents, immobilization techniques, artificial enzymes
and the design of cascade-reactions are treated in a separate
section. A final chapter deals with the basic rules for the safe
and practical handling of biocatalysts. The use of biocatalysts,
employed either as isolated enzymes or whole microbial cells,
offers a remarkable arsenal of highly selective transformations for
state-of-the-art synthetic organic chemistry. Over the last two
decades, this methodology has become an indispensable tool for
asymmetric synthesis, not only at the academic level, but also on
an industrial scale. In this 7th edition new topics have been
introduced which include alcohol and amine oxidases, amine
dehydrogenases, imine reductases, haloalkane dehalogenases,
ATP-independent phosphorylation, Michael-additions and cascade
reactions. This new edition also emphasizes the use of enzymes in
industrial biotransformations with practical examples.
