Stability and Stabilization of Biocatalysts - Proceedings of an International Symposium

Six years after the symposium on Stability and Stabilization of Enzymes , a second symposium, Stability and Stabilization of Biocatalysts , on which this book is based, was organized. At the symposium, 210 participants representing all continents came together to learn from 150 oral and poster communications. The volume brings up-to-date the work already going on, and identifies possible breakthroughs in the research. This timely book therefore presents cutting edge developments in topics such as non-covalent processes in solution, protein engineering and thermophile enzymes, immobilized enzymes, non-conventional media, and whole cells. An excellent addition to the available literature, it will make a useful contribution to this key area of applied biocatalysis.
