Inhaltsangabe

Future Directions in Biocatalysis, Second Edition, presents the future direction and latest research on how to utilize enzymes, i.e., natural catalysts, to make medicines and other necessities for humans. It emphasizes the most important and unique research on biocatalysis instead of simply detailing the ABC’s on the topic.

This book is an indispensable tool for new researchers in the field to help identify specific needs, start new projects that address current environmental concerns, and develop techniques based on green technology. It provides invaluable hints and clues for conducting new research on enzymes, with final sections outlining future directions in biocatalysis further expanding the science into new applications.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Tomoko Matsuda is an Associate Professor at the School of Life Science and Technology, Tokyo Institute of Technology. For 20 years, her research has been focused on the organic synthesis with enzymes, biocatalysis, and particularly the study of enzymatic reactions in a non-aqueous solvent. Her group has achieved the waste-minimization in large-scale production of chiral compounds with a flow system using liquid and supercritical carbon dioxide as a solvent and an immobilized lipase as a catalyst.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

Future Directions in Biocatalysis, 2nd edition shows the future direction and latest research on how to utilize enzymes, ie natural catalyst, to make medicines and other necessities for humans. It emphasizes the most important and unique research on biocatalysis instead of ABC’s of biocatalysis. It helps new researchers in the field to identify needs and start new projects addressing current environmental concerns and develop techniques based on green technology. It also gives users (specialists) hints and clues in searching new research topics using enzymes. The book outlines future directions in biocatalysis rather than reviewing already conducted research and expands into new applications of biocatalysis.

• Gives future directions in the biocatalysis research area
• Includes research topics based on their uniqueness, originality and novelty and not popularity
• Includes many figures to explain the content easily for both organic chemists and biochemists, showing that there is no boundary between organic chemistry and biochemistry.
