Enzyme Dynamics and Regulation [Paperback]

Recent developments in concepts and techniques have brought enzyme research to a changing yet exciting stage. Enzymes have served as indispensable tools in the phenomenal rise of molecular biology, and the resultant biotechnology thrusts enzymes to new heights and territories. This volume, the proceedings of a recent symposium on the Dynamics of Soluble and Immobilized Enzyme Systems, provides a current overview of the field to help scientists utilize long-established and newly acquired information.Papers contributed to the International Symposium on the Dynamics of Soluble and Immobilized Enzyme Systems, held May 26-30, 1986 in Beijing, ChinaRecent developments in concepts and techniques have brought enzyme research to a changing yet exciting stage.
