The use of biocatalysts offers a remarkable arsenal of highly selective transformations for modern preparative organic chemistry. This book provides a basis for

The use of natural catalysts - enzymes - for the transformation of non-natural man-made organic compounds is not at all new: they have been used for more than o

After a basic introduction spanning the principles of stereoselective transformations, kinetics and enzyme properties, the different types of reactions are expl

Whereas the hydrolases such as proteases, esterases and lipases are sufficiently well researched to be applied in every standard laboratory, other types of enzy

The use of biocatalysts, employed either as isolated enzymes or whole microbial cells, offers a remarkable arsenal of highly selective transformations for state
