Conventional applications of industrial enzymes are expected to grow, with major opportunities in the detergent and animal feed sectors, and new uses in biofuel production and human and animal therapy.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn order to design more efficient enzyme reactors and evaluate performance properly, sound mathematical expressions must be developed which consider enzyme kinetics, material balances, and eventual mass transfer limitations. With a focus on problem solving, each chapter provides abridged coverage of the subject, followed by a number of solved problems illustrating resolution procedures and the main concepts underlying them, plus supplementary questions and answers.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBased on more than 50 years of teaching experience, \u003ci\u003eProblem Solving in Enzyme Biocatalysis\u003c\/i\u003e is a unique reference for students of chemical and biochemical engineering, as well as biochemists and chemists dealing with bioprocesses.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Contains:\u003c\/b\u003e Enzyme properties and applications; enzyme kinetics; enzyme reactor design and operation 146 worked problems and solutions in enzyme biocatalysis. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAndrés Illanes\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor in the School of Biochemical Engineering at Pontificia Universidad Católica de Valparaíso, Chile.
