Asymmetric and Selective Biocatalysis

Description

Asymmetric and Selective Biocatalysis is a specialized scientific reference focused on the use of enzymes to achieve highly selective and stereochemically controlled chemical transformations. The book highlights modern biocatalytic strategies for asymmetric synthesis, emphasizing regioselectivity, enantioselectivity, and chemoselectivity in organic reactions.

Covering enzyme classes such as oxidoreductases, hydrolases, lyases, transferases, and isomerases, the text bridges fundamental enzymology with real-world industrial applications. It addresses reaction mechanisms, enzyme engineering, process optimization, and green chemistry principles, making it especially relevant to pharmaceutical synthesis, agrochemicals, and fine chemical production.

Designed for researchers, graduate students, and professionals in chemistry, biochemistry, and chemical engineering, Asymmetric and Selective Biocatalysis serves as a valuable resource for advancing sustainable and efficient synthetic methodologies.
