Peroxidases: Biochemical Properties, Roles, Mechanism and Applications delves into the world of peroxidases, enzymes crucial in various biochemical and industrial processes. This comprehensive guide starts with an exploration of the origins and biochemical properties of peroxidases from sources such as animals, plants, and microbes. It explains their classifications, mechanisms of action, and the molecular evolution of different peroxidase families. Additionally, the book discusses the enhancement of peroxidase activities and their role in biotechnology. The second part of the book highlights the applications of peroxidase in organic synthesis, the pulp-paper industry, diagnostic kits, and biosensors.
Finally, the book examines advanced healthcare applications, including targeted cancer therapies and enzyme immunoassays. This detailed resource is aimed at researchers, practitioners, and students in biochemistry, biotechnology, and related scientific fields.
