Asymmetric Organic Synthesis with Enzymes

Perfect for biochemists, synthetic and organic chemists, this bookcovers all important reactions, including C-C coupling reactions,oxidation reactions and many more. Divided into two parts, the first section on methodology presentsnew innovative methods for enzymatic catalysis optimization,including such new trends as medium engineering, directed evolutionand computer-aided prediction of enantioselectivity. The second andmain section deals with applications to synthesis, showingimportant reaction types and their applications. Only thosereactions with very high selectivity are presented, allowingreaders to improve their own reaction yields.
