Transglutaminase: Fundamentals and Applications, a new volume in the Foundations and Frontiers in Enzymology series, stands as a comprehensive resource on this increasingly important class of enzymes. Following an introduction to the field from the Editors, international experts discuss basic biology and structure – function relationships of transglutaminases, ongoing fundamental research, as well as new application areas, including food processing, material synthesis, biomedicine and disease treatment, and biotechnology. Approaches for sourcing transglutaminases from animals, plants, and microorganisms are considered in-depth, followed by chapters on applied uses in biomedicine, skin and bone biology and medicine, drug development, tissue engineering, seafood bioprocessing, dairy bioprocessing, synthesis of materials and polymers, and as an immobilization agent. Research protocols are also provided, including research rationale, design, substrates, assays and microassay steps for studying transglutaminases.
