In recent years, there has been significant global interest in the controlled use of enzymes as catalysts across various sectors, including industrial processing, analytical chemistry, and medical therapy. This interest has led to the emergence of Enzyme Engineering, an interdisciplinary field that encompasses the production, purification, immobilization, and application of enzymes in diverse settings and reactor configurations. To facilitate the exchange of ideas and information within this new field, a series of Engineering Foundation conferences on Enzyme Engineering was initiated. The success of the first two conferences highlights the field's potential to address major challenges facing humanity. The inaugural conference took place from August 9-13, 1971, in Henniker, New Hampshire, and played a crucial role in shaping the traditional disciplines that converge in Enzyme Engineering. It was particularly successful due to the gathering of key scientists and engineers from various aspects of the field, fostering an exchange of ideas and mutual education on relevant principles. The second conference followed on August 5-10, 1973, also in Henniker, further solidifying the collaborative efforts within this evolving discipline.

About this title

Synopsis

Considerable worldwide interest has arisen in recent years in the controlled use of enzymes as catalysts in industrial processing, analytical chemistry and medical therapy. This interest has genera­ ted the new interdisciplinary field of Enzyme Engineering, which includes both the scientific and technologic aspects of the produc­ tion, purification, immobilization, and application of enzymes in a variety of situations and reactor configurations. A series of Engineering Foundation conferences on Enzyme Engineering was initia­ ted to provide an international forum for the exchange of ideas and information over the entire range of this new field. The outstanding success of the first two conferences attests to the vigor and poten­ tial of this field to contribute significantly to a better under­ standing and resolution of some of the major problems faced by man­ kind. The first conference, which was held August 9-13, 1971, at Henniker, New Hampshire, U. S. A. , aided significantly in molding the several traditional disciplines that interact to form the field of Enzyme Engineering. The conference was highly successful mainly because many of the key scientists and engineers from the several facets of Enzyme Engineering were brought together for the first time at a single residential meeting. The result was an exchange of ideas and "education" of one another in the pertinent principles of the diverse disciplines which contribute to this field. The second conference, held August 5-10, 1973, at Henniker, New Hampshire, U. S. A.
