Summary:

The Organic Chemistry of Enzyme-Catalyzed Reactions is not a book on enzymes, but rather a book on the general mechanisms involved in chemical reactions involving enzymes. An enzyme is a protein molecule in a plant or animal that causes specific reactions without itself being permanently altered or destroyed.

Contents:

Enzymes as catalysts.

Group transfer reactions: hydrolysis, amination, phosphorylation.

Reduction and oxidation.

Monooxygenation.

Dioxygenation.

Substitutions.

Carboxylations.

Decarboxylation.

Isomerizations.

Eliminations and additions.

Aldol and claisen reactions and retroreactions.

Formylations, hydroxymethylations, and methylations.

Rearrangements.

Appendix I: Enzyme kinetics.

Appendix II: Problems and solutions.

Notes:

Includes bibliographical references and index.
