This book discusses the methods and applications of enzymatic and microbial processes for organic synthesis, in particular asymmetric synthesis. Coverage also includes basic principles associated of enzyme specificity and catalytic abilities. The author details organic syntheses with the main classes of enzymes, illustrating their important characteristics of substrate and chemical specificity, regioselectivity, and stereoselectivity that these enzymes bring to organic synthesis. Applications for pharmaceutical and medicinal industry, food industry, cosmetics, fragrance, and health care are...
