Handbook of Industrial Biocatalysis discusses virtually every aspect of biocatalysis from international experts most actively researching the field.

Features:

• Explores every stage of biocatalysis, including enzyme catalysis, biotransformation, bioconversion, fermentation, and biotechnology
• Highlights the production of chiral intermediates that exhibit anticancer, antiviral, and other inhibiting behaviors
• Covers the production of industrial chemicals using principles of green chemistry
• Includes comprehensive chapters replete with illustrations and examples
• Contains references throughout the text that provide direction for further study
