Enzymology Primer for Recombinant DNA Technology

by Hyone-Myong Eun

Overview

Enzymes are indispensable tools in recombinant DNA technology and genetic engineering. This book not only provides information for enzymologists, but does so in a manner that will also aid nonenymologists in making proper use of these biocatalysts in their research. The Enzymology Primer for Recombinant DNA Technology includes information not usually found in the brief descriptions given in most books on recombinant DNA methodology and gene cloning.

• Provides essential basics as well as up-to-date information on enzymes most commonly used in recombinant DNA technology
• Presents information in an easily accessible format to serve as a quick reference source
• Leads to a better understanding of the role of biocatalysts in recombinant DNA techniques

Editorial Reviews

A guide to the inner world of biocatalysts used in recombinant DNA techniques written for molecular biologists and technologists as a quick reference source to biochemical, biophysical, and catalytic properties of enzymes. Eun (Laboratoires Virbac, France) describes the functional and structural principles of enzymes and nucleic acids, the basic concepts of enzymology, nucleic acid chemistry, the molecular biology on which recombinant DNA technology is based, and the the properties and molecular genetics of selected enzymes. The appendices include a glossary of methods in landmark molecular biological techniques, genotypes of E. coli strains, and a guide for enzyme handling. Annotation c.
