Features: This book systematically introduces the fundamental principles of biocatalytic reactions and transformations and their applications in the synthesis of important compounds (such as amino acids, vanillin, 2-arylpropionic acid, etc.). The fundamental principles are based on the definition of biocatalysis and transformation, the stereochemical foundation of biocatalysis, types of biocatalytic reactions, and mechanisms of biocatalytic reactions, with a focus on the medium engineering theory of biocatalytic reactions and the preparation methods of biocatalysts. This book is suitable for senior undergraduate and graduate students in organic chemistry, pharmaceutical chemistry, chemical biology, fine chemicals, and biotechnology, as well as for teachers, researchers, and technical personnel engaged in bioprocess engineering, biotechnology, and related fields.
