Enzyme Assays: High-throughput Screening, Genetic Selection and Fingerprinting

Nowadays, the characterization of enzymes using simple assays is a key technology for finding the optimum enzymes for, among others, catalysis in enzymology and drug discovery. Thus, enzymes have become an everyday tool not only for biologists, but also for chemists, and the number of applications is now overwhelming. This book fills the need for a book presenting the most important methods for high-throughput screenings and functional characterization of enzymes. It adopts an interdisciplinary approach, making it indispensable for all those involved in this expanding field, and reflects the major advances made over the past few years.
