Glycoside Hydrolases: Biochemistry, Biophysics, and Biotechnology

Glycoside Hydrolases: Biochemistry, Biophysics, and Biotechnology provides a detailed overview of the biochemical, biophysical and protein engineering properties of glycoside hydrolases, a class of enzymes in growing use across various applications. Sections discuss the structural and catalytic mechanisms of specific glycoside hydrolases and their implications in biotechnological applications of different industrial sectors such as the food and feed industry, paper and pulp industry, the bioenergy sector and the pharmaceutical industry. The book's authors also consider how the application of glycoside hydrolases may boost industrial production of valued products and the broader environmental and sustainability goals of converting agrowaste into valued products. This book helps researchers and students across industry and academia gain deep knowledge of glycoside hydrolases to advance new experimental research and applications from biofuel to drug discovery. Details glycoside hydrolase classification, enzyme assays for biochemical characterization, and biophysical methods for structure determination and catalytic mechanisms Discusses the use of glycoside hydrolases across various applications from biofuels to drug development, enzyme technology and fermented food production Features chapter contributions from international leaders in the field INDICE: 1.
