Description
Enzyme Technologies in Drug Discovery highlights how, what, and where enzymes have become critical in pharmaceutical and biotechnology research. This book provides in-depth reviews of recent developments in biosynthesis, biocatalysis, and the chemical biology of enzymes. This text discusses enzymatic assays, including emerging assay technologies for key enzyme classes in pharmaceutical research. In addition to new developments in proteomics, this book includes two emerging technologies in life sciences, metabolomics and preclinomics. This volume reviews important progress on the chemical biology of enzymes in the post-genomic era.
Reviews / Votes
"This book is a coordinated compilation of research expertise and current opinion uniquely focused on enzymes and their properties and applications." (Book Circle, 1 September 2011) "It provides a good starting point and gives all the necessary information to go from the overview of one of the fields described into the details of the broad list of original literature cited." (ChemBioChem, 11 February 2011)More details
