Description

Protocols and Applications in Enzymology provides instruction on the experimental procedures of enzyme isolation techniques, innovative screening techniques, and instrument enabled enzyme assays and their underlying principles, among other protocols. The book serves as a one-stop solution for those working with different enzyme protocols in the fields of biochemistry, microbiology, biotechnology and allied subjects. Each chapter offers a full overview of protocol key resources, materials required, quantifiable and statistical analysis, optimization and troubleshooting, safety considerations, and standards. Applications are discussed across distribution and diversity of microbial enzymes, enzyme screening, enzymes in solid state fermentations, enzyme assays, enzyme kinetics, and biotechnological uses.
