Synopsis Enzymology is a dynamic, rapidly growing field, and the goal of the book 'Fundamentals of Enzymology' is to illustrate this fact visually. Book provides a basic understanding of enzyme action and structure, since virtually all chemical reactions occurring within living cell are subject to the catalysis and control of enzymes. Fundamental of Enzymology gives an all -round view of the field including enzyke purification and characterization, enzyme structure, enzyme kinetics, the mechanisms and control of enzymes act in vivo, enzyme synthesis and degradation, and also clinical and industrial applications of enzymology. The book provides deep knowledge of biosynthesis, structure, mechanisms of catalysis, metabolic regulations, large scale purification procedure, enzyme mimicry and the use of enzyme in medical sciences. Book has adopted the SI systems of units and followed, as far as possible, the recommendations of the International Union of Biochemistry regarding the nomenclature of enzyme and substrates. The book is a real antidote to 'virtual biotechnology'. It provides a very practical and industrially-oriented account of the use of enzymes in industrial processes, applications of enzymes for biosensors and diagnostics, animal feeds, banking, brewing, cheese, protein hydrolysis, detergent, effluent treatment, flavours, fruit processing and many more. The book is intended for research workers, graduate and post graduate students and faculty in Biochemistry, Microbiology and Pharmaceutical Chemistry who are interested in the techniques and logic by which mechanisms of enzyme catalyzed reactions can be elucidates by investigations of experiments.
