Chemical biotechnology and bioengineering /

Includes bibliographical references and index.

From chemical biology to its technology and engineering -- Chemical modulators for enzymatic reactions -- Regulation of non-canonical DNA structures by small molecules and carbon materials -- Chemical biotechnology of in vitro synthetic biosystems for biomanufacturing -- Chemical bioengineering in microbial electrochemical systems -- Chemical bioengineering in plant cell culture -- Chemical biotechnology for plant protection.

"In biotechnology and bioengineering, small molecules can be used to increase the efficiency reduce the cost and damage to the environment of certain bioprocesses. This book introduces readers to the important field of chemically promoted biotechnology and bioengineering and presents the theory behind the biotechnology of enzymatic reactions and how they can be chemically enhanced. The book covers chemical modulators for enzymatic reactions, chemically promoted biotechnology in plant cell cultures, chemically promoted biotechnology for plant protection and future prospects for the field. Knowledge gained allows both chemists to make use of biotechnology to solve chemical problems in an environmentally-friendly way, and biologists to make use of chemistry to increase biotechnological efficiency. This book is useful for scientists in a broad range of disciplines, including agricultural chemistry, pesticide science, medicinal chemistry, biochemistry, bio-organic chemistry, cell and molecular biology. Students and researchers in both academia and industry will find it a useful handbook."--Provided by publisher.
