Enzyme Technologies for Pharmaceutical and Biotechnological Applications fills a unique niche for a comprehensive account of certain important enzymes in human and animal health understanding of these targets under physiological and pathological conditions ( functional proteomics). Enzyme Technologies for Pharmaceutical and Biotechnological Applica- tions is informative,. of what is new and relevant in the field. The book is intended primarily for industrial and research scientists with interests in adopting and maximizing enzyme technologies for pharmaceutical discovery,
