Enzyme Kinetics: A Modern Approach

This text covers enzyme kinetics from its most elementary aspects to such modern subjects as steady-state, multi-reactant kinetics and isotope exchange. It offers an understanding of the behaviour of enzyme systems and the diagnostic tools used to characterize them and determine kinetic mechanisms. Furthermore, it illustrates and explains current subjects such as cumulative, concerted and co-operative feedback inhibition and metal ion activation

The book also covers identification methods of new enzymes and the optimization of known ones, as well as the regulatory aspects for their use in industrial applications. Up to date and wide in scope, this is a chance for non-specialists to acquaint themselves with this rapidly growing field. "...The quality...is so great that there is no hesitation in recommending it as ideal reading for any student requiring an introduction to enzymes...Enzymes in Industry-should command a place in any library, industrial or academic, where it will be frequently used." -The Genetic Engineer and Biotechnologist "Enzymes in Industry' is an excellent introduction into the field of applied enzymology for the reader who is not familiar with the subject...offers a broad overview of the use of enzymes in industrial applications. It is up-to-date and remarkable easy to read, despite the fact that almost 50 different authors contributed. The scientist involved in enzyme work should have this book in his or her library. But it will also be of great value to the marketing expert interested in the present use of enzymes and their future in food and nonfood applications." -Angewandte Chemie "This book should be available to all of those working with, or aspiring to work with, enzymes. In particular academics should use this volume as a source book to ensure that their 'new' projects will not 'reinvent the wheel'." -Journal of Chemical Technology and Biotechnology

Industrial Enzymes

Man's use of enzymes dates back to the earliest times of civilization. Important human activities such as the production of certain types of foods and beverages, and the tanning of hides and skins to produce leather for garments, serendipitously took advantage of enzyme activities. Important advances in our understanding of the nature of enzymes and their action were made in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, seeding the explosive expansion from the 1950s and 60s onward to the present billion dollar enzyme industry. Recent developments in the fields of genetic engineering and protein chemistry are bringing ever more powerful means of analysis to bear on the study of enzyme structure and function that will undoubtedly lead to the rational modification of enzymes to match specific requirements as well as the design of new enzymes with novel properties. This volume reviews the most important types of industrial enzymes, covering in a balanced manner three interrelated aspects of paramount importance for enzyme performance: three-dimensional protein structure, physiochemical and catalytic properties, and the range of both classical and novel applications. The material covered will be of interest to undergraduate and graduate students in biochemistry, biotechnology and applied microbiology in addition to researchers and industrialists.

Handbook of Food Enzymology

Discussing methods of enzyme purification, characterization, isolation, and identification, this book details the chemistry, behavior, and physicochemical properties of enzymes to control, enhance, or inhibit enzymatic activity for improved taste, texture shelf-life, nutritional value, and process tolerance of foods and food products. The book covers general aspects of enzymology and the biotechnological strategies for enzyme discovery and development. It describes prototypic enzymes of the six chemical types of reactions catalyzed by enzymes, addressing what the enzymes do, their importance to feed and food production, chemical and biological properties, activity measurement, and more.

Enzymes: A Practical Introduction to Structure, Mechanism and Data Analysis

Fully updated and expanded-a solid foundation for understanding experimental enzymology. This practical, up-to-date survey is designed for a broad spectrum of biological and chemical scientists who are beginning to delve into modern enzymology. Enzymes, Second Edition explains the structural complexities of proteins and enzymes and the mechanisms by which enzymes perform their catalytic functions. The book provides illustrative examples from the contemporary literature to guide the reader through concepts and data analysis procedures. Clear, well-written descriptions simplify the complex mathematical treatment of enzyme kinetic data, and numerous citations at the end of each chapter enable the reader to access the primary literature and more in-depth treatments of specific topics. This Second Edition of Enzymes: A Practical Introduction to Structure, Mechanism, and Data Analysis features refined and expanded coverage of many concepts, while retaining the introductory nature of the book. Important new features include: A new chapter on protein-ligand binding equilibria Expanded coverage of chemical mechanisms in enzyme catalysis and experimental measurements of enzyme activity Updated and refined discussions of enzyme inhibitors and multiple substrate reactions Coverage of current practical applications to the study of enzymology Supplemented with appendices providing contact information for suppliers of reagents and equipment for enzyme studies, as well as a survey of useful Internet sites and computer software for enzymatic data analysis, Enzymes, Second Edition is the ultimate practical guide for scientists and students in biochemical, pharmaceutical, biotechnical, medicinal, and agricultural/food-related research.

Fundamentals of Enzyme Kinetics

In this new edition of Fundamentals of Enzyme Kinetics all of the text has been thoroughly revised to explain concepts even more clearly, some of the material is reorganized into a more logical sequence, and there are many additions throughout the book. In particular, the important topic of irreversible inhibition is now covered in more detail than it was in previous editions, and there is a fuller discussion of methods for studying fast reactions. A novel feature is the inclusion of brief biographical sketches of ten of the scientists who developed our understanding and knowledge of enzyme catalysis. There are numerous new bibliographical references to take account of developments over recent years. There is no pretence of an encyclopaedic approach, but instead the emphasis is on the principles of enzyme kinetics, and especially on explaining these principles as simply and accurately as possible, so that readers will be well equipped to take the subject as far as they need.

Proteolytic Enzymes

Like the first edition, this edition emphasizes practical aspects of the handling, characterization, inhibition, and use of proteolytic enzymes, giving general advice and specific examples. The text and protocols have been updated to take account of the advances made, in both the increased understanding of the role of peptidases in many critical cellular processes and new technological developments such as recombinant protein expression, protein sequencing, and structural studies. The topics covered are: nomenclature and classification; purification; assay methods; determination of mechanism; inhibition and prevention of unwanted proteolytic activity; characterizing natural inhibitors; proteolytic enzymes in peptide mapping and primary structure elucidation by mass spectrometry and Edman sequencing; limited proteolysis as a structural probe; synthetic function. This book should be useful in providing ideas and protocols for scientists either studying proteases or using proteases as a research tool.
