The use of biocatalysts, employed as isolated enzymes or whole cells, offers a remarkable arsenal of highly selective transformations for modern preparative organic chemistry. This first textbook on biocatalysis provides a basis for undergraduate and graduate courses in biocatalysis as well as a condensed introduction into this field for scientists and professionals.
