Editorial Reviews

Review

"…this is an excellent guide that should be read by everyone in the field." (Journal of Natural Products, January 2005)

"The book nicely brings together the essentials of biocatalysis including reactions, the products and processes that utilize the methodology, and techniques for improving biocatalysts." (Catalyst, November 2004)

"...the book is excellent and could be read cover to cover or used for reference and I strongly recommend it to anyone interested in the field of biocatalysis whether they be graduate students just entering the field or more experienced practitioners." (Organic Process Research & Development)

"This giudebook is warmly recommended to scientists in academia, industry and authorities engaged in biocatalysis because one unique feature of primary importance is that the interdisciplinary fields of chemistry, biology and bioengineering receive equal attention, thus, addressing both practioners and students from all three areas." (AFS, 2004 Vol. 26)

From the Back Cover

Long awaited, "Biocatalysis - Fundamentals and Applications" is finally available: Covering the whole range, from a firm grounding in theoretical concepts to in-depth coverage of the practical aspects and future perspectives.

The book not only covers reactions, products and processes using biocatalysts, but also methods of designing and improving them. One unique feature is that chemistry, biology and bioengineering receive equal attention, thus addressing practitioners and students from all three fields.
