Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Amino Acids Are The Molecular Units That Make Up Proteins. All Proteins Are Various Compositions Of Twenty Specific Naturally Occurring Amino Acids. Amino Acids Are Found In All Foods Except Oil. There Are About Eighty Amino Acids Found In Nature, But Only Twenty To Twenty-Nine Are Required For Human Growth. Amino Acids Play A Pivotal Role In Living Systems, And Therefore Synthetic Amino Acids Have Been Of Significant Interest To Researchers Working Towards The Understanding And Modification Of Physiological Processes. Currently, The Amino Acids Used In Amino Acid Products Are Mainly Manufactured By Biocatalytic Methods. The Book Presents Detailed Discussion Of The Preparation Of Amino Acids By Biocatalysis. It Provides Examples Of Recently Developed Biocatalytic Methods For The Production Of Amino Acids And Its Derivatives. It Offers Upper Level Students And Professionals An Essential Resource For Pharmaceutical Development, Medicinal Chemistry And Biochemistry. Contents Chapter 1: Basics Of Biocatalysis; Chapter 2: Production Of Amino Acids; Chapter 3: Asymmetric Synthesis Of Amino Acids; Chapter 4: Amino Acids And Derivatives; Chapter 5: Strategies For Efficient Biocatalysis; Chapter 6: Synthesis Of Cage Amino Acids; Chapter 7: Types Of B-Amino Acids; Chapter 8: Extremophiles And Extremozymes; Chapter 9: Immobilised Enzymes; Chapter 10: Enzymatic Peptide Synthesis; Chapter 11: Synthesis Of Enantiomerically Pure (S)-Amino Acids And (R)-Amines; Chapter 12: Cloning And Sequence Analysis; Chapter 13: Bioseparation And Biocatalytic Applications.
