Enzyme Technologies: Pluripotent Players Discovering Therapeutic Agents

"This book highlights how, what, and where enzymes have become critical in pharmaceutical and biotechnology research. It provides in-depth reviews of recent developments in select topics on biosynthesis, biocatalysis, and chemical biology of enzymes. Broad coverage of enzymatic assays includes 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 (including glycomics and lipidomics) and preclinomics. This volume reviews important progress on the chemical biology of enzymes in the post-genomic era"--
