Reseña

Representing the interface of biochemistry with organic chemistry, Bio-organic Chemistry describes the structure, interactions, and reactions of organic compounds of biological significance at the molecular level.

The book's major focus is on fundamentals of bio-organic chemistry, with each chapter offering in-depth knowledge alongside coverage of the chemical/biochemical reactions and giving special attention to mechanistic aspects. General biosynthetic reactions have been outlined and compared with corresponding organic reactions.

The detailed information on the chemistry of Enzymes is given in one chapter, with the subsequent chapter describing the details of the mechanism of enzyme action. The reactions catalysed by enzymes and coenzymes respectively have been described in detail, with emphasis on the mechanism of these reactions.

The chapter on Enzyme Models is entirely focused on different aspects and types of enzyme models and their applications in chemical, pharmaceutical, food, biochemical and environmental industries. The biotechnological applications of enzymes have been described in the last chapter focusing on immobilized enzyme technology for various industrial uses.
