Biotransformations in Organic Chemistry A Textbook

Biotransformations in Organic Chemistry A Textbook / by Kurt Faber.

The use of natural catalysts - enzymes - for the transformation of non-natural man-made organic compounds is not at all new: they have been used for more than one hundred years, employed either as whole cells, cell organelles or isolated enzymes [1,2]. Certainly, the object of most of the early rese...
