Organic synthesis with enzymes - the only way

This comprehensive manual gives reliable answers to all questions on enzyme catalysis - from searching for suitable catalytic converter systems via choosing the optimal reaction conditions to implementing modern synthesis strategies. The long-awaited new edition has been greatly expanded to include new topics and to reflect the latest research, yet retains the clear and practice-oriented presentation found in the first edition. More than a mere data collection, the three volumes provide synthetic chemists with easy access to all the first-hand information necessary for successfully using enzymes:

• the latest synthesis methods
• example applications arranged according to reaction type
• a table of all the important, commercially available enzymes
• comprehensive registers for targeted searching according to enzyme, compound, or reaction
• modern methods of protein chemistry: use of catalytic anti-bodies and "protein engineering"
• current references to the literature

In short, an indispensable reference that should be on the shelf of every modern synthesis laboratory.
