This book provides an actual overview of the structure, function,
and application of carbohydrate-modifying biocatalysts.
Carbohydrates have been disregarded for a long time by the
scientific community, mainly due to their complex structure.
Meanwhile, the situation changed with increasing knowledge about
the key role carbohydrates play in biological processes such as
recognition, signal transduction, immune responses, and others. An
outcome of research activities in glycoscience is the development
of several new pharmaceuticals against serious diseases such as
malaria, cancer, and various storage diseases. Furthermore, the
employment of carbohydrate-modifying biocatalysts-enzymes as well
as microorganisms-will contribute significantly to the development
of environmentally friendly processes boosting a shift of the
chemical industry from petroleum- to bio-based production of
chemicals from renewable resources. The updated content of the
second edition of this book has been extended by discussing the
current state of the art of using recombinantly expressed
carbohydrate-modifying biocatalysts and the synthesis of
minicellulosomes in connection with consolidated bioprocessing of
lignocellulosic material. Furthermore, a synthetic biology approach
for using DAHP-dependent aldolases to catalyze asymmetric aldol
reactions is presented.
