Chemical Biology of Enzymes for Biotechnology and Pharmaceutical Applications, by Yang, Hsiu-Chiung / Yeh, Wu-Kuang / McCarthy, J. R.

Highlighting the critical importance of enzymes in pharmaceutical and biotechnology research, Enzyme Technologies presents thorough discussions on chemical biology of enzymes, redesigning binding and catalytic specificities of enzymes, and applications of enzymes to biotechnology research in the post-genomic era.

This timely review presents researchers, students, and faculty with expert reviews of recent progress in comprehending molecular mechanisms of biosynthetic and biocatalytic processes as well as how to utilize that knowledge for practical applications.
