Enzyme-catalyzed reactions are essential for the design of enzyme inhibitors in the pharmaceutical and agricultural industries  and of growing importance for process development in the chemical and biotechnology industries. Following a general introduction to the role of enzymes as catalysts  each chapter describes the organic reaction mechanisms that are used by enzymes to catalyze a particular family of organic transformations. The compilation includes a vast number of drawings to illustrate structures and mechanisms  and focuses on one or two examples of enzymes that catalyze the particular chemistry for that transformation. The Organic Chemistry of Enzyme-Catalyzed Reactions is not a book on enzymes  but rather the general mechanisms used by enzymes. Extensive references refer to the many experiments that have helped to elucidate enzyme mechanisms. Chemical model studies as an aid in mechanistic studies are also discussed  as are the design of haptens and the generation of catalytic antibodies (\"designer enzymes\"). Problem sets and solutions are provided to check the readers understanding of the principles described.   Shows how enzyme-catalyzed reactions are simply efficient organic reaction  Emphasizes the connection between organic reaction mechanisms and enzyme mechanisms  Explains how enzymes can accelerate the rates of chemical reactions with high specificity  Uses selected enzymes to demonstrate general mechanisms of enzyme-catalyzed reaction  Illustrated with a vast array of clearly drawn structures  schemes  and figures  Includes an extensive bibliography on enzyme mechanisms  Describes approaches to the design of enzyme inhibitors  Covers catalytic antibody design and mechanisms  Provides problem sets and solutions for each chapter  Written in an informal and engaging style\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45960402108469,"sku":"ByrdShop_0126437459","price":122.48,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780126437454.jpg?v=1788286237","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-organic-chemistry-of-enzymecatalyzed-reactions-9780126437454","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
