Academic Press Biocatalysis: Volume 714 (Methods in Enzymology, Volume 714)

Biocatalysis, Volume 714 provides a wide range of themes dealing with the identification and application of biocatalysts. This includes various formats such as whole-cell or cell-free biocatalysis as well as immobilized variants. Specific chapters in this new release include Biocatalysis: How to select the proper mode of application, Documentation in biocatalysis and data handling, Mining metagenomes from extremophiles as resource for novel glycoside hydrolases for industrial applications, Functional Metaproteomics, Sequence-function relation for the prediction of enzyme properties: A case study on flavin-dependent oxidases, P450 monooxygenase in whole-cell format, and more. Additional sections cover Regio- and Stereospecific oxidation based on di-iron monooxygenases producing whole cells, Recombinant enzyme expression and targeted mutagenesis in Aromatoleum species, C.necator as a model organism for CO2-based biotechnology, Cupriavidus in whole-cell biocatalysis, Whole-cell biocatalysis with Myxobacteria, Streptomyces for natural product formation: Targeted mutagenesis in PKS, Reductive Amination: Methods for cell-free and whole-cell biocatalysis, Challenges and good practices on transaminase-catalysed synthesis of optically pure amines, W-enzymes in biocatalysis: Chances and difficulties for the user, Atroposelective biocatalysis employing ADHs, Applications of alcohol oxidases, and much more. Provides guidance on how to identify, produce, describe, and apply biocatalysts, including documentation Includes broad perspectives on biocatalysis, including its advantages as well as its hurdles Presents a plethora of applications of a diverse set of enzyme-based catalysis
