Thermostability of Enzymes

by M. N. Gupta

As with chemical reactions in general, turnover rates of enzyme-catalyzed reactions increase with temperature. For industrial applications, therefore, understanding and influencing the stability of enzymes above their usual range of biological temperatures is crucial for economic reasons. The editor has compiled the first overview of thermostable enzymes in this reference book. Leading experts outline strategies for the search for thermostable enzymes...
