Overview

""Biomolecules and Organic Solvents"" discusses the most recent advances on the behaviour of enzymes and multienzyme complexes in organic solvents, in addition to the problem of water-protein interactions and the characteristics of water at interphases. It attempts to bridge the gap between the all water and the organic solvents systems from the point of view of enzyme structure and function. New developments regarding the nature of the water pool and interphases of reverse micelles and their enzymatic kinetics are also explored. The book is intended for biochemists, and molecular biologists.
