Infos

Cold-Adapted Enzymes: Biochemistry and Biotechnology provides a detailed investigation into enzymes that adapt to cold environments. It covers the catalytic, structural and regulatory properties of this type of enzyme and the potential advances in their biotechnological applications.Topics covered include the evolution of enzymes in cold environments, enzymes involved in carbohydrate metabolism (such as xylanases, B-galactosidase, and B-glucosidase), cold-adapted enzymes in lipid metabolism (such as esterases and lipases) and redox enzymes. The book also explores bacterial cold-adapted enzymes and those from organisms which live in extreme environments like Antarctica. Recombinant expression methods, protein engineering and computational approaches are also featured.

This book offers a complete overview of cold-adapted enzymes and is the latest volume in the Foundations and Frontiers of Enzymology series. This is a useful reference for researchers across a range of interdisciplinary fields including biochemistry, enzymology, biotechnology, molecular evolution, structural biology and microbiology.
