Food Enzymes: Structure and Mechanism is the first volume to bring together current information on the structures and mechanisms of important food enzymes. It provides an in-depth discussion of the dynamic aspects of enzyme structures and their relationship to the chemistry of catalysis. The book emphasizes aspects of the chemistry of enzyme structure and mechanism seldom covered in the food science literature. It includes a thorough discussion of the genetic modification of enzyme structures and functions with reference to specific food enzymes. More than 100 illustrations enhance the clarity of important concepts. Comprehensive references reflect the current state of knowledge on enzyme actions.

This book presents a thorough and updated treatment of food chemistry based on modern concepts.

Dieses klare und übersichtliche Buch bietet einen Einführungskurs in die Sprache des Genklonens und deckt dabei mikrobielle, pflanzliche und Säugetiersysteme ab. Es stellt die Grundlagen des Genklonens in einer gut organisierten und zugänglichen Weise dar. Teil I dieses Buches umreißt die Grundlagen der Biologie und Genetik, die für das Konzept des Genklonens relevant sind. Teil II beschreibt gängige Techniken und Ansätze des Genklonens, angefangen von den grundlegenden Mechanismen der DNA-Manipulation, Vektorsystemen, Prozesstransformation bis hin zur Genanalyse. In Teil III und IV werden Anwendungstechnologien vorgestellt, die in der Landwirtschaft, Biomedizin und verwandten Bereichen von großer Bedeutung sind. Das ABC des Genklonens, dritte Auflage, enthält Aktualisierungen, darunter ein Tutorial-Kapitel über die Konstruktion von Genvektoren, Methoden zur Exom-Sequenzierung bei der Suche nach Krankheitsgenen, überarbeitete Themen zur Gentherapie und zur Ganzgenom-Sequenzierung, neue Entwicklungen zum Gen-Targeting und zur Genom-Editierung sowie den aktuellen Stand des Next Generation Sequencing. Mit mehr als 140 Abbildungen ist diese neue Ausgabe ein unschätzbarer Text für Studenten und alle, die die Sprache des Genklonens lesen und sprechen wollen.

Discussing methods of enzyme purification, characterization, isolation, and identification, this book details the chemistry, behavior, and physicochemical properties of enzymes to control, enhance, or inhibit enzymatic activity for improved taste, texture, shelf-life, nutritional value, and process tolerance of foods and food products. The book covers general aspects of enzymology and the biotechnological strategies for enzyme discovery and development. It describes prototypic enzymes of the six chemical types of reactions catalyzed by enzymes, addressing what the enzymes do, their importance to feed and food production, their chemical and biological properties, and measurement of their activity.
