Biocatalysts and Enzyme Technology (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781647403904)

Enzymes are proteins that speed-up metabolism and chemical reactions that occur inside the human bodies. These proteins build or create some substances, while others are broken down. Enzyme technology refers to the branch of industrial biotechnology which encompasses biocatalysis, fundamental and applied enzymology, molecular modeling, structural biology, and diagnostics. The application of whole cells or isolated enzymes, as catalysts in organic reactions is termed as biocatalysis. The material-intensive process of enzyme purification is accomplished effectively by using whole-cell biocatalysts that contain active pathways or enzymes. The identification of the design of whole-cell biocatalysts and enzymes has been facilitated by recent developments in molecular biology, metabolic engineering, synthetic biology and computational techniques. This book unravels the recent studies on biocatalysts and enzyme technology. It will help the readers in keeping pace with the rapid changes in these fields of study.
