Produktinformationen zu „Introduction to Enzyme and Coenzyme Chemistry (PDF)“
Enzymes are giant macromolecules which catalyse biochemical reactions. They are remarkable in many ways. Their three-dimensional structures are highly complex, yet they are formed by spontaneous folding of a linear polypeptide chain. Their catalytic properties are far more impressive than synthetic catalysts which operate under more extreme conditions. Each enzyme catalyses a single chemical reaction on a particular chemical substrate with very high enantioselectivity and enantiospecificity at rates which approach "catalytic perfection". Living cells are capable of carrying out a huge repertoire of enzyme-catalysed chemical reactions, some of which have little or no precedent in organic chemistry.
The popular textbook Introduction to Enzyme and Coenzyme Chemistry has been thoroughly updated to include information on the most recent advances in our understanding of enzyme action, with additional recent examples from the literature used to illustrate key points. A major new feature is the inclusion of two-colour figures, and the addition of over 40 new figures of the active sites of enzymes discussed in the text, in order to illustrate the interplay between enzyme structure and function.
This new edition provides a concise but comprehensive account from the perspective of organic chemistry, what enzymes are, how they work, and how they catalyse many of the major classes of enzymatic reactions, and will continue to prove invaluable to both undergraduate and postgraduate students of organic, bio-organic and medicinal chemistry, chemical biology, biochemistry and biotechnology.

Autoren-Porträt von T. D. H. Bugg
Professor Timothy Bugg, Department of Chemistry, University of Warwick, UKProfessor Bugg is Professor of Biological Chemistry at the University of Warwick. Following his PhD studies with Dr C. Abell at the University of Cambridge he spent two years as a SERC/NATO postdoctoral research fellow in the laboratory of Professor CT Walsh at Harvard Medical School. In 1991 he began his academic career as a lecturer in organic chemistry at the University of Southampton, before moving to Warwick in 1999. His research interests are in the study of enzyme mechanisms, principally enzymes involved in the bacterial degradation of aromatic compounds, and enzymes involved in bacterial peptidoglycan biosynthesis. He has published approximately 100 journal publications since 1988, is the author of "An Introduction to Enzyme and Coenzyme Chemistry" (2 editions), and a contributor to "Comprehensive Natural Products Chemistry", and "Encyclopaedia of Chemical Biology" (for which he is on the Advisory Board).
