This book offers an explanation of the specific ways that biocatalysis outperforms chemical catalysis by: utilizing ambient temperature and atmospheric pressure to minimize problems of isomerization, racemization, and epimerization; employing microbial cells and enzymes that can be immobilized and reused over many cycles; and overexpressing enzymes for greater economy and efficiency.

Stereoselective or asymmetric synthesis of organic molecules preferentially leads to one of several possible steric structures of ae target molecule, which is most important for economical multistep syntheses of for example natural products, drugs, and fine chemicals, that show activity only in a certain steric modification. The book provides a collection of classic methods that have been developed over the last two decades for asymmetric synthesis. It highlights the modern and contemporary methods that are the classic workhorses of organic synthesis or are in the process of becoming classics

In Volume 18 of this well-established series, Professor Atta-ur-Rahman again brings together the work of several of the world’s leading authorities in organic chemistry. Their contributions demonstrate the rapid, ongoing development of this field by illustrating many of the latest advances in synthetic methods, total synthesis, structure determination, biosynthetic pathways, and biological activity.The opening chapter presents an overview of strategies for the synthesis of several classes of natural products with an emphasis on complex polycyclic systems. Subsequent chapters discuss the

This reference covers the wide and rapidly growing field of biocatalysis. It combines complementary expertise from such areas as microbiology, enzymology, molecular biology structural biology and organic chemistry, thus highlighting the interdisciplinary nature of the subject. With its special focus on progress and new developments towards environmentally beneficial reactions with high levels of selectivity for the production of key compound classes, this book will enlighten both chemists and biologists as to the advances and opportunities existing in enzyme catalysis.
