| Organic Chemistry of Enzyme-Catalyzed Reactions, Revised Edition, Second Edition by Academic Press A lot of problems will be solved in later revisions |
| The index for this book .... For example, there are a fair number of examples of the epoxidation reaction, but not a single pointer toward that in the index of the book. And much the same thing for other types of reactions. It would also be nice if there was a more clear transfer between basic organic principles and then biological applications. He does do a good job showing this is some cases (i.e., the benzoin condensation), but a few more parallel examples would have been very useful. |
| Organic Chemistry of Enzyme-Catalyzed Reactions, Revised Edition, Second Edition by Academic Press Professor Silverman does it again! |
| This book is an excellent resource for undergraduate and graduate students studying enzyme chemistry and organic mechanisms. Prof. Silverman does a fine job of giving many different examples of enzyme mechanisms. By not focusing totally on one kind of enzyme or catalysis, he succeeds in painting a broad picture for the reader, while not sacrificing content. The only drawback to this edition is the large amount of typographical errors that appear throughout. Perhaps better editing is in order for future editions. |
| Organic Chemistry of Enzyme-Catalyzed Reactions, Revised Edition, Second Edition by Academic Press Product Description |
The Organic Chemistry of Enzyme-Catalyzed Reactions is not a book on enzymes, but rather a book on the general mechanisms involved in chemical reactions involving enzymes. An enzyme is a protein molecule in a plant or animal that causes specific reactions without itself being permanently altered or destroyed.
This is a revised edition of a very successful book, which appeals to both academic and industrial markets.
Illustrates the organic mechanism associated with each enzyme-catalyzed reaction
Makes the connection between organic reaction mechanisms and enzyme mechanisms
Compiles the latest information about molecular mechanisms of enzyme reactions
Accompanied by clearly drawn structures, schemes, and figures
Includes an extensive bibliography on enzyme mechanisms covering the last 30 years
Explains how enzymes can accelerate the rates of chemical reactions with high specificity
Provides approaches to the design of inhibitors of enzyme-catalyzed reactions
Categorizes the cofactors that are appropriate for catalyzing different classes of reactions
Shows how chemical enzyme models are used for mechanistic studies
Describes catalytic antibody design and mechanism
Includes problem sets and solutions for each chapter
Written in an informal and didactic style |
