Publisher's Synopsis
László Poppe, Lajos Novák Selective Biocatalysis A Synthetic Approach This stimulating monograph is a much needed response to the increasing use of biocatalysts in organic synthesis. In over 300 well–referenced pages, it
- reviews in detail applications and other aspects of the most widely used enzymes (e.g. hydrolases, oxidoreductases, and bakers yeast)
- illustrates with examples the potential in biocatalysis of other, less frequently used enzymes and microorganisms
- discusses general problems of biocatalysis (e.g. stereochemistry of transformations, methods of influencing selectivity)
- indicates future trends in biocatalysis
