Enzyme Reaction Engineering

Enzyme reaction engineering has always been an interdisciplinary subject with applications ranging from biocatalysts preparation and characterisation, to the use of biocatalysts in various biotransformations at different process conditions such as reaction medium reactant and product solubility, reaction kinetics etc. This book describes the recent developments in enzyme reaction engineering based on modern sciences and technology. It builds a bridge between basic knowledge and biotechnology in the field of biochemistry and enzymology. The book will provide the reader with the most up-to-date information on development of enzyme reaction engineering.
