This book covers the use and potential of enzymes. It deals more with
newer enzymes and enzyme systems that show potential for use in
organic-chemistry transformations on a preparative scale than with the well
known biocatalysts (hydrolases) such as proteases, esterases and lipases. Many
other types of enzymes have yet to become established with respect to their
application although many, as stressed in this volume, show great potential for
use in synthetic chemistry. The information presented covers the following
topics:
- Biocatalytic asymmetric decarboxylation.
- Biocatalytic applications of hydroxynitrile.
- Stereoinversions using microbial redox-reactions.
- Biotransformations with peroxidases.
- Production of chiral c3- and c4-units by microbial enzymes.
- Polyamino acids as man-made catalysts.
- Epoxide hydrolases and their synthetic applications.
- Microbial models for drug metabolism.
