Lipases

Lipases: Foundations, Applications, and Perspectives, a new volume in the Foundations and Frontiers of Enzymology series, offers a practical, in-depth discussion of lipases and instruction in their use across research and industry. Here, global experts in the field introduce readers to basic lipase biology and the history of the field, interfacial activation and lipase lids, evolving analytical techniques and technology for studying lipases, and a range of lipase applications, from health and drug discovery to biofuels, food, cosmetics, and waste treatment. Lipase sources and production methods discussed include mammalian lipases, microbial lipase production, biomass lipase production, immobilized lipases, and tailor-made recombinant lipases, among other approaches. - Provides an in-depth, practical discussion of lipases and current perspectives in the field - Offers applied instruction in methods and analytical techniques for studying and using lipases across research and industry - Explores a range of lipase applications, from health and drug discovery to biofuels, food, cosmetics, and waste treatment - Features contributions from international experts in the field
