Enzyme Assisted Organic Synthesis Manfred Schneider

The pharmaceutical industry, the agrochemical industry, and synthetic organic chemists around the globe have an intense interest in biotransformations. Written by one of the world's top researchers in this field, Enzyme Assisted Organic Synthesis is a handbook specially designed for organic chemists as a comprehensive treatise on biocatalytic methods. After a careful introduction that includes commercial sources, classes and properties of enzymes, and basic catalytic mechanisms, he discusses techniques used to determine enzyme activities, then in a table-filled, easy-to-use format offers a comprehensive look at the various classes of compounds.
