Lipids are biomolecules that constitute a significant amount of
biomass in the earth, and plant lipids are rapidly growing in
interest due to their roles in improving food technology, medicine,
nutrition, and biotechnology. With recent advances in protein
chemistry, biochemistry, and enzymology promoting research on
lipolytic enzymes, it is important for research to address the
mechanisms of such enzymes and their diverse functions. Unique
Sequence Signatures in Plant Lipolytic Enzymes: Emerging Research
and Opportunities provides innovative insights into the
biochemistry of plant lipases and phospholipases as well as their
structures and catalytic mechanisms. The book explores the
conserved domains and motifs of plant lipolytic enzymes by
identifying the main residues involved in the catalysis in the
enzymes and the phylogeny of important plant lipolytic enzymes, as
well as calculating the evolutionary distance in those enzymes.
Organized into six chapters, it is a vital reference source for
researchers, chemists, biologists, academicians, practitioners,
medical professionals, engineers, and graduate students.
