Features: Biopolymers not only synthesize in organisms but also constitute the multi-component of dry cell mass. The multi-volume book "Biopolymers" reviews the production and metabolism of biopolymers. Additionally, it covers the separation and modification from living organisms, synthetic methods via biotechnology and chemical approaches, material properties, and their applications in various fields, such as daily products, medicine, pharmaceutical industry, food industry, agriculture, textile industry, and packaging industry. It also looks ahead to the future prospects of biopolymers.
Volumes 7 and 8 of "Biopolymers" describe polyamides and complex protein materials synthesized by bacteria and eukaryotes. Starting with an introduction to their biosynthesis and degradation mechanisms both in vivo and in vitro, these volumes detail the biosynthesis, separation, metabolism, modification, production, and applications of these biopolymers. Volume 8 includes research on the status and application prospects of naturally synthesized, chemically synthesized, and genetically engineered animal and plant fibrous proteins (e.g., collagen and gelatin), sweet proteins, storage proteins of animals and plants, metalloproteins and mineralized proteins, adhesion proteins, and other protein synthetic materials.
The intended readers of this book primarily include researchers, educators, and professionals in biotechnology, polymer science, material engineering, and related fields, as well as those working in their application domains.
