Stereoselective Biocatalysis by Ramesh N. Patel Publisher: CRC Press; 1 edition (January 3, 2000) | ISBN: 0824782828 | Pages: 946 | PDF | 140 MB
This book offers an explanation of the specific ways that biocatalysis outperforms chemical catalysis by: utilizing ambient temperature and atmospheric pressure to minimize problems of isomerization, racemization, and epimerization; employing microbial cells and enzymes that can be immobilized and reused over many cycles; and overexpressing enzymes for greater economy and efficiency.
