Description for Biocatalysis for Green Chemistry and Chemical Process Development
Hardcover. Biocatalysis is emerging as a transformational technology uniquely suited to deliver green chemistry solutions for chemical synthesis. Focusing exclusively on biocatalytic processes, this book provides a comprehensive overview of green chemistry applications of enzyme-driven transformations for a wide range of industries. Editor(s): Tao, Junhua (Alex); Kazlauskas, Romas Joseph. Num Pages: 496 pages, Illustrations. BIC Classification: PN; TCB. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 234 x 163 x 32. Weight in Grams: 866.
This book describes recent progress in enzyme-driven green syntheses of industrially important molecules. The first three introductory chapters overview recent technological advances in enzymes and cell-based transformations, and green chemistry metrics for synthetic efficiency. The remaining chapters are directed to case studies in biotechnological production of pharmaceuticals (small molecules, natural products and biologics), flavors, fragrance and cosmetics, fine chemicals, value-added chemicals from glucose and biomass, and polymeric materials.
