Biotransformations in organic chemistry : a textbook

The use of biocatalysts, employed either as isolated enzymes or whole cells, offers a remarkable arsenal of highly selective transformations for modern preparative organic chemistry. During the last decade, this methodology has now generally been accepted as a complementary method to the already existing tools. This first textbook on biocatalysis provides a basis for undergraduate and graduate courses in biocatalysis, as well as a condensed introduction into this field. After a basic introduction into the use of biocatalysts - principles of stereoselective transformations, kinetics, enzyme nomenclature and handling - the different types of reactions are explained according to the "reaction principle". The 5th edition... From www.biochemist.org, 2/2005, Dr. Chris Hamilton, Queens University Belfast " To summarize, the book is comprehensive, well structured and easy to read either cover-to-cover or by just dipping into a particular topic of interest. It is a combination of a general introduction to the theoretical principles of synthetic biotransformations, an outline of the practicalities which need to be considered and a compact, yet comprehensive, review of discoveries and developments which have driven this field towards maturity over the past twenty years. I found it to be an informative and enjoyable read and would recommend it as a central textbook both for synthetic chemists already involved in biotransformations as well as a good starting point for those who have yet to take the plunge.".

  • "The use of biocatalysts as enzymes and/or whole cells, offers a remarkable arsenal of highly selective transformations in preparative organic chemistry. A large number of synthetically useful reactions can be catalysed by enzymes in a highly selective manner. This book pinpoints the chemo-, regio- and stereoselective transformations which have been shown to be most useful as an alternative to the already existing methods for stereoselective synthesis. The types of reaction covered inter alia are: hydrolysis-condensation, redox-reactions, addition-elimination, carbon-carbon bond formation, halogenation, etc. Special techniques, such as enzyme-immobilization and the use of biocatalysts in organic solvents are introduced to the newcomer. This is the first approach to provide a condensed introduction into this field written from the viewpoint of an organic chemist. This professional referencebook on Biotransformations in Organic Chemistry is aimed at graduate students in Organic Chemistry and Biotechnology, scientists and professionals who want to use the powerful synthetic tool of enzymes for modern preparative organic chemistry."@en

During the past decade, this methodology has now generally been accepted as a complementary method to the already existing tools. The setup of this first textbook on biocatalysis is based on a professional reference book published in 1992, and it provides a basis for undergraduate and graduate courses in biocatalysis, as well as a condensed introduction into this field for scientists and professionals.

  • "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 research was totally different from that of the present day. Thus the elucidation of biochemical pathways and enzyme mechanisms was the main reason for research some decades ago. It was mainly during the 1980s that the enormous potential of applying natural catalysts to transform non-natural organic compounds was recognized. What started as a trend in the late 1970s could almost be called a fashion in synthetic organic chemistry in the 1990s. Although the early euphoria during the 'gold rush' in this field seems to have eased somewhat, there is still no limit to be seen for the future development of such methods. As a result of this extensive, recent research, there have been an estimated 13 000 papers published on the subject. To collate these data as a kind of 'super-review' would clearly be an impossible task and, furthermore, such a hypothetical book would be unpalatable for the non-expert [3-7]."@en
