Enzyme Catalysis in Organic Synthesis: A Comprehensive Handbook

Organic synthesis with enzymes - the only way

This comprehensive set gives reliable answers to all questions on enzyme catalysis - from searching for suitable catalytic systems via choosing the optimal reaction conditions to implementing modern synthesis strategies. The long-awaited new edition has been greatly expanded to include new topics and to reflect the latest research, yet retains the clear and practice-oriented presentation found in the first edition. More than a mere data collection, the three volumes provide synthetic chemists with easy access to all the first-hand information necessary for successfully using enzymes:
- the latest synthesis methods
- example applications arranged according to reaction type
- a table of all the important, commercially available enzymes
- comprehensive registers for targeted searching according to enzyme, compound, or reaction
- current references to the literature
In short, an indispensable reference that should be on the shelf of every modern synthesis laboratory.

"...an unrivalled wealth of knowledge and experience...destined to become known as 'The Handbook' for biological catalysis in organic chemistry." (Applied Organometallic Chemistry, Vol.19, No.1, January 2005)
