Understanding Enzymes : Function, Design, Engineering, and Analysis

This book focuses on the understanding of enzyme function and optimization gained in the past decade, past enzyme function analysis, enzyme engineering, and growing insights from the simulation work as well and nanotechnology measurement of enzymes in action in vitro or in silico. It presents new insights into the mechanistic function and understanding of enzyme reactions and covers novel structure analysis technologies in conjunction with x-ray and NMR structural methods. The text discusses topics that include single molecules, molecular dynamic simulations of different conformers of enzymes, surface enzyme kinetics, metagenomics and bioinformatics sequence handling, and coupled reactions in nanodevices.

Understanding Enzymes: Function, Design, Engineering, and Analysis focuses on the understanding of enzyme function and optimization gained in the past decade, past enzyme function analysis, enzyme engineering, and growing insights from the simulation work and nanotechnology measurement of enzymes in action in vitro or in silico. The book also presents new insights into the mechanistic function and understanding of enzyme reactions, as well as touching upon structural characteristics, including X-ray and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) structural methods. A major focus of the book is enzyme molecules’ dependency on dynamic and biophysical environmental impacts on their function in ensembles as well as single molecules. A wide range of readers, including academics, professionals, PhD and master’s students, industry experts, and chemists, will immensely benefit from this exclusive book.
