This is a practical guide to enzymes and enzymology for a broad spectrum of researchers and students in the fields of biochemistry, pharmaceuticals and health. It examines the day-to-day needs of individuals working with enzymes, and presents an introduction to their chemical structures and reactivities, the correct methods for analyzing enzyme reactivities, and the details of experimental data analysis.
"...a welcome volume for any reader concerned with this important class of biological.... The book is interesting, informative, and very readable." (
Choice, Vol. 38, No. 7, March 2001)
"...an introductory textbook intended for senior undergraduate or graduate students...coverage includes chemical bonds and reactions, structural components of enzymes..." (SciTech Book News, March 2001)
"...to describe this text in one word, I would say that it is thorough?a good text for those interested in enzyme mechanisms and kinetics." (Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, Vol. 45, No. 235, 2002)
