Extending the range of enzymatic catalysis by using non-aqueous media considerably enlarges the range of enzyme applications and became a powerful approach in biochemistry and biotechnology. This book discusses several specific applications in nearly anhydrous media, aqueous-organic cosolvent mixtures and reverse micelles, including use of enzymes in fat and oil processing, peptide synthesis, sugar transformations and preparation of chiral compounds. A particularly promising approach of using reverse micelles for modifying proteins is also described. Almost each chapter covers background...

One major concern of biotechnology is either using enzymes or producing them. Enzyme/protein production is therefore an important starting point for biotechnology. Bioseparation or Downstream Processing constitutes about 40-90% of the total production cost. Driven by economics, highly selective technologies applicable to large-scale processing have emerged during the last decade. These technologies are slowly diffusing to enzymologists who are working on a smaller scale, looking for fast and efficient purification protocols. The affinity-based techniques (including precipitation, two-phase...
