"This reference explains the specific ways that the process of enzyme-catalyzed reactions - biocatalysis - outperforms chemical catalysis: by utilizing ambient temperature and atmospheric pressure to minimize problems of isomerization, racemization, and epimerization; by employing microbial cells and enzymes that can be immobilized and reused over many cycles; and by "overex-pressing" enzymes for greater economy and efficiency.".

"Containing over 4100 references and more than 1000 tables, equations, drawings, and micrographs, Stereoselective Biocatalysis is a resource for organic and medicinal chemists; pharmacologists; chemical engineers; biochemists; microbiologists; and upper-level undergraduate and graduate students in these disciplines."--BOOK JACKET.
