The action of enzymes fascinated mankind long before they were rec ognized for the complex chemicals that they are. The first application of these remarkable compounds to produce ethanol by fermentation is lost to antiquity. Payer and Persoz (Ann. Chim. Phys. , 53, 73 (1833ii)) appear to have provided the first step toward understanding this com plex area when they reported the isolation of diastase in 1833. These workers showed that diastase could catalyze the hydrolysis of starches to sugars. Somewhat earlier Kirchhoff (Schwigger's Journal, 4, 108 (1812)) had shown that a small amount of dilute acid could hydrolyze a ... Read more

Reviews for Biocatalysis
This useful and interesting book, with a subject index and chapter summaries. The concluding chapter by antonies Kieboom is a particularly thoughtful analysis of why carbohydrate-converting enzymes may be catalytically inactive in water-free solvents, unless the product is much less popular than the substrate. It is suggested here that a too tight enzyme-substrate ... Read more
