Preface
Genes related to human and animal health are being discovered at an ever-increas-
ing rate. As gene products, enzymes are being explored for their function and
application in a rapidly emerging field that has been termed functional genomics.
Enzyme Technologies for Pharmaceutical and Biotechnological Applications fills
a unique niche for prehensive account of certain important enzymes in
human and animal health. Readers can also gain important insights into enzyme
technologies in both the pharmaceutical and biotechnological industries. The pri-
mary aim of this book is to highlight how, what, and where enzymes have e
critically important or are rapidly emerging in these two overlapping and interde-
pendent industries.
As a state-of-the-art work on enzyme technologies, the book covers four
basic principles and applications in (1) antibiotic biosynthesis, (2) biocatalysis,
(3) modern screening/optimization, and (4) emerging new technologies. In Part
I, on biosynthesis, the emphasis is placed on both improvements in a
