Presenting the state of the art of biocatalysis and its interdisciplinary nature, this book covers the full range of topics in the field, from basic principles to forefront research, and from laboratory-scale procedures to chemical manufacturing at industrial-scale. It presents the broad field of oxidoreductase enzymes in biocatalysis, including both fundamentals and applications of oxidoreductase enzymes. The role of redox enzymes in chemical transformation is especially emphasized. Scientists in academia and industry interested in redox biotransformations will find Redox Biocatalysis an indispensable guide.

Daniela Gamenara, PhD, is Assistant Professor in the Organic Chemistry Department of the Faculty of Chemistry of Universidad de la Republica, Uruguay. After two short postdoctoral internships, her current scientific interest is the development of enzymatic methodologies for the synthesis of high added-value compounds and natural products as well, together with the use of new trends in organocatalysis for the same purposes. Gustavo A. Seoane, PhD, is Full Professor and Head of the Organic Chemistry Department of the Faculty of Chemistry of Universidad de la Republica, Uruguay. His main scientific interest is the use of green procedures for the synthesis of bioactive natural products and analogs, in particular, intensive use of biotransformations to prepare polyoxygenated targets. He works actively to promote the development of biocatalysis in South America. Patricia Saenz-Mendez, PhD, is Assistant Professor of Physical Organic Chemistry in the Faculty of Chemistry of Universidad de la Republica, Uruguay. She was previously appointed as postdoctoral fellow at the OErebro University, Sweden, and the National University of Ireland, Galway. Her work is devoted to the experimental and in silico development of biotechnological and organocatalytic tools for the preparation of high added-value chemicals and natural products. Pablo Dominguez de Maria, PhD, is Group Leader at the Institute for Technical and Macromolecular Chemistry (ITMC), RWTH Aachen University, Germany. He was previously affiliated with AkzoNobel BV in the Netherlands and Degussa AG in Germany. Dr. Dominguez de Maria has also worked as a technical freelance advisor on emerging technologies (e.g., catalysis) applied to sustainable chemistry (www.sustainablemomentum.net). He was awarded the Young Scientist Prize by the Iberoamerican Academy of Pharmacy.
