Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Enzyme Technology is one the most promising disciplines in modern biotechnology. In this book, the applications of a wide variety of enzymes are highlighted. Current studies in enzyme technology are focused towards the discovery of novel enzymes (termed “bio-discovery” or “bio-prospecting”) and the identification and elucidation of novel pathways of these novel enzymes with emphasis on their industrial relevance. With the development of molecular techniques and other bioinformatics tools, the time to integrate this subject with other fields in the life sciences has arrived. A rapid expansion of the knowledge base in the field of enzyme biotechnology has occurred over the past few years. Much of this expansion has been driven by the bio-discovery of many new enzymes from a wide range of environments, some extreme in nature, followed by subsequent protein (enzyme) engineering. These enzymes have found a wide range of applications, ranging from bioremediation, bio-monitoring, biosensor development, bioconversion to biofuels and other biotechnologically important value-added products. Hydrolases constitute a major component of the global annual revenue generated by industrial enzymes and the emphasis has therefore been placed on these enzymes and their applications. With the immense interest of researchers active in this area, this book will serve to provide information on current aspects in this field of study. In the current edition, the contributions of many diversified topics towards establishing new directions of research in the area of enzyme biotechnology are described. This book serves to provide a unique source of information to undergraduates, post graduates and doctoral courses in microbiology and biotechnology along with allied life sciences. The present edition of the book covers all important areas of enzyme biotechnology i.e. the wide variety of enzymes in the field of enzyme biotechnology and their industrial applications, new methods and state-of-the-art information on modern methods of enzyme discovery. This book will act as good resource on most of the current facets of enzyme technology for all students engaged in bioengineering and biotechnology.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Biotechnology is now one of the major growth areas in science and engineering and within this broad discipline enzyme technology is one of the areas earmarked for special and significant developments. This publication is the second edition of Microbial Enzymes and Biotechnol ogy which was originally published in 1983. In this edition the editors have attempted to bring together accounts (by the relevant experts) of the current status of the major areas of enzyme technology and specifically those areas of actual and/or potential commercial importance. Although the use of microbial enzymes may not have expanded at quite the rate expected a decade ago, there is nevertheless intense activity and considerable interest in the whole area of enzyme technology. Microbial enzymes have been used in industry for many centuries although it is only comparatively recently that detailed knowledge relating to their nature, properties and function has become more evident. Developments in the 1960s gave a major thrust to the use of microbial enzymes in industry. The commercial success of alkaline proteases and amyloglucosidases formed a bed-rock for subsequent research and development in the area.

Download or read book Advances in Enzymology written by Joshua Kelly and published by . This book was released on 2020-09-15 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Enzymes are biological catalysts that are required for the sustenance of life. Nearly all metabolic processes occurring in the cell require enzyme catalysis for sustaining life. Enzymes are generally proteins, although some are catalytic RNA molecules. The difference between enzymes and any other catalysts is their high degree of specificity. Such specificity arises from their unique 3D structures. The activity of enzymes can be affected by other molecules. There are some therapeutic drugs and poisons that may inhibit enzyme activity. Enzymes are also used commercially for the synthesis of antibiotics. The activity of enzymes needs to be closely regulated for homeostasis. The overproduction, underproduction, mutation or deletion of any enzyme can lead to genetic diseases, such as phenylketonuria, Tay-Sachs disease, pseudocholinesterase deficiency, etc. This book aims to shed light on some of the unexplored aspects of enzymology and the recent researches in this field. The various studies that are constantly contributing towards advancing technologies and evolution of this field are examined in detail. Coherent flow of topics, student-friendly language and extensive use of examples make this book an invaluable source of knowledge.
