Buch, Englisch, 222 Seiten, Format (B × H): 161 mm x 240 mm, Gewicht: 505 g

The book is aimed at providing an exposure to some important topics which are generally not covered adequately in formal courses in biotechnology. It informs the readers about:

- How micro-fluidics are proving useful in enzyme kinetics.

- Chemi-proteomics; combinatorial chemistry and high-throughput screening in the context of drug discovery.

- How enzymes can be used with gaseous substrates?

- How to source more robust enzymes from marine resources for diverse applications?

- Why some nano-materials can be chiral?

- Synthesis of diverse quantum dots as powerful fluorescent probes in biology.

- How basics of surface chemistry and immunology are vital in dealing with endemics/pandemics like Covid-19.
