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.
