Description and Table of Contents

Description

Provides a comprehensive review of catalysis by enzymes at extreme temperatures. Covers what is known about organisms that can grow near 100 DegreesC and the specific properties of the limited number of enzymes and proteins that have been purified from them. Also discusses techniques and methods for investigating how proteins and nucleic acids are stabilized at extreme temperatures and explores the potential application of these enzymes. Includes contributions from leading research scientists in biochemistry, chemical engineering, microbiology, biology, and molecular biology.
