Details: Enzyme Active Sites and their Reaction Mechanisms provides a one-stop reference on how enzymes “work.” Here, Dr. Harry Morrison, PhD and Professor Emeritus at Purdue University, provides a detailed overview of the origin and function of forty enzymes, the chemical details of their active sites, their mechanisms of action, and associated cofactors. The enzymes featured highlight a step forward, along with possible areas of application, thus supporting new research in academic and industrial labs. Each chapter is written in a clear format, including a brief summary of enzyme function and structure, a detailed description of their mechanisms of action and associated co-factors. Offers a comprehensive, biochemical understanding of enzyme mechanisms and their reaction sites Supports new research in academic, medical and industrial labs, connecting discoveries powered by recent advances in technology and experimental approaches to areas of application Features short, carefully structured, actionable chapters on various enzyme classes, thus allowing for easy-use and searchability
