This book builds upon a knowledge of the properties of enzymes and shows how these important catalysts can be used in industry. The central theme demonstrates how proteins, especially enzymes and immunoglobins can be isolated, characterised and produced on a large scale. Specific examples are given and both practical and theoretical aspects are examined. Applications for a wide range of metabolites are described with particular emphasis on the design, performance and production of biosensors. * Step-by-step logical development * Student centered learning style * Texts planned by both industry and academia The need for a cost effective training scheme for new and existing staff at all levels has been met by the University of Greenwich (formerly Thames Polytechnic) and the Open University of the Netherlands. As part of the European Community Education and Technology Training initiative (COMETT) and in conjunction with a number of other leading UK and European universities, they are developing BIOTOL, a training scheme in biotechnology using open learning materials, which will provide tailor-made courses, flexible in content, pace and place. 'This is a particularly useful learning resource for people wanting to broaden their knowledge in biotechnology either informally or by extending their formal education in MScs and similar courses.' - Journal of Chemical Tech & Biotechnology, July 1995Currell, B.C. is the author of 'Technological Applications of Biocatalysts', published 1994 under ISBN 9780750605069 and ISBN 0750605065.
