Publisher's Synopsis
The Method of Enzyme Action is a book written by James Beatty and originally published in 1917. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the principles and mechanisms underlying the action of enzymes, which are biological catalysts that play a vital role in many biochemical processes. Beatty's work is divided into three main sections. The first section explores the fundamental principles of enzyme action, including the factors that influence enzyme activity, the specificity of enzymes, and the kinetics of enzyme-catalyzed reactions. The second section delves into the chemical and physical properties of enzymes, including their structure, stability, and regulation. The final section of the book is devoted to the practical applications of enzyme technology, including the use of enzymes in industry, medicine, and agriculture.Throughout the book, Beatty draws on a wide range of scientific research and provides numerous examples to illustrate the principles and concepts he discusses. The Method of Enzyme Action is considered a classic text in the field of enzymology and remains a valuable resource for researchers and students alike.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
