Molecular Aspects of Enzyme Catalysis. Toshio Fukui

Recent expansion in the range and sophistication of techniques in protein science has provided a wealth of new information. This book deals with the latest achievements by the most active researchers in the field of enzyme catalysis. Twenty-eight authors from Japan, the USA and Israel provide first-class information on enzyme structure and function studies. Their ideas for new methodologies will stimulate the redesign of more effective biocatalysts. A discussion of new trends, and advanced techniques is followed by detailed presentations of the structures and functions of such important enzymes as: – Aspartate Aminotransferase – Tryptophan Synthase – Alanine Racemase – Tryptophanase – Superoxid Dismutase – H+-ATPas
