Synopsis

Glycoside Hydrolases provides a detailed overview of the biochemical, biophysical, and protein engineering properties of glycoside hydrolases, a class of enzymes in growing use across various applications. Here, more than a dozen global experts discuss the structural and catalytic mechanisms of specific glycoside hydrolases, followed by their implications in biotechnological applications of different industrial sectors such as the food and feed industry, paper and pulp industry, the bioenergy sector and the pharmaceutical industry. Authors consider how the application of glycoside hydrolases may boost industrial production of valued products, and the broader environmental and sustainability goals of converting agrowaste into valued products. This book helps researchers and students across industry and academia gain deep knowledge of glycoside hydrolases, to advance new experimental research and applications from biofuel to drug discovery.
