Biocatalysis / A.S. Bommarius, B.R. Riebel.

• Introduction to biocatalysis -- Characterization of a (bio- )catalyst -- Isolation and preparation of microorganisms -- Molecular biology tools for biocatalysis -- Enzyme reaction engineering -- Applications of enzymes as bulk actives: detergents, textiles, pulp and paper, animal feed -- Application of enzymes as catalysts: basic chemicals, fine chemicals, food, crop protection, bulk pharmaceuticals -- Biotechnological processing steps for enzyme manufacture -- Methods for the investigation of proteins -- Protein engineering -- Applications of recombinant DNA technology: directed evolution -- Biocatalysis in non-conventional media -- Pharmaceutical applications of biocatalysis -- Bioinformatics -- Systems biology for biocatalysis -- Evolution of biocatalytic function -- Stability of proteins -- Artificial enzymes -- Design of biocatalytic processes -- Comparison of biological and chemical catalysts for novel processes.

• This book not only covers reactions, products and processes with and from biological catalysts, but also the process of designing and improving such biocatalysts, taking into account all recent insights. A unique feature is that the fields of organic chemistry, biology and bioengineering receive equal attention, such that practitioners and students from all three areas are addressed.
