Biocatalysts are increasingly used by chemists engaged in finechemical synthesis within both industry and academia. Today, thereexists a huge choice of high-tech enzymes and whole cellbiocatalysts, which add enormously to the repertoire of syntheticpossibilities.
Practical Methods for Biocatalysis and Biotransformations2 is a "how-to" guide that focuses on the practicalapplications of enzymes and strains of microorganisms that arereadily obtained or derived from culture collections. The sourcesof starting materials and reagents, hints, tips and safety advice(where appropriate) are given to ensure, as far as possible, thatthe procedures are reproducible. Comparisons to alternativemethodology are given and relevant references to the primaryliterature are cited. This second volume - which can be usedon its own or in combination with the first volume - concentrateson new applications and new enzyme families reported since thefirst volume. Contents include:
* introduction to recent developments and future needs inbiocatalysts and synthetic biology in industry
* reductive amination
* enoate reductases for reduction of electron deficientalkenes
* industrial carbonyl reduction
* regio- and stereo- selective hydroxylation
* oxidation of alcohols
* selective oxidation
* industrial hydrolases and related enzymes
* transferases for alkylation, glycosylation andphosphorylation
* C-C bond formation and decarboxylation
* halogenation/dehalogenation/heteroatom oxidation
* tandem and sequential multi-enzymatic syntheses
Practical Methods for Biocatalysis and Biotransformations2 is an essential collection of biocatalytic methods forchemical synthesis which will find a place on the bookshelves ofsynthetic organic chemists, pharmaceutical chemists, and processR&D chemists in industry and academia.
