Biocatalysts and Enzyme Technology.TP248 3-527-30497-5 Biocatalysts and enzyme technology. Buchholz, Klaus et al. Wiley-VCH, [c]2005 448 p. $95.00 (pa) First published in German, the English edition of this textbook textbook Informatics A treatise on a particular subject. See Bible. has been revised, with expanded treatment of protein design by rational means and directed evolution Directed evolution is a method used in protein engineering to harness the power of Darwinian selection to evolve proteins or RNA with desirable properties not found in nature. , the importance of enzymes as biocatalysts in organic chemistry, additional case studies, and a focus on applications to industrial process. The first chapters introduce enzyme technology and describes the basics of enzymes as biocatalysts. Subsequent chapters describe enzymes in organic chemistry, their production and purification purification, in religion, the ceremonial removal of what the religion deems unclean. The usual agents of purification are water (as in baptism), bodily alteration (as in circumcision), and fire. , their applications in solution, and their immobilization Immobilization Definition Immobilization refers to the process of holding a joint or bone in place with a splint, cast, or brace. This is done to prevent an injured area from moving while it heals. , with attention to the immobilization of microorganisms and cells and characteristics of immobilizaed biocatalysts. The final chapter describes reactors and process technology. The text will be of use to researchers and in graduate-level courses in biology; chemistry; and biochemical bi·o·chem·is·try n. 1. The study of the chemical substances and vital processes occurring in living organisms; biological chemistry; physiological chemistry. 2. , chemical, and process engineering. |
