"The book is a very nice addition to our understanding of artificial enzymes."<br> Angewandte Chemie International Edition<br> <br> "... a highly readable introduction to this creative chemical discipline... fills a critical gap in the literature of bioorganic/supramolecular chemistry."<br> Journal of the American Chemical Society<br> <br> "The topics in the book are well illustrated with suitable figures and recent references. In conclusion, this book is a big contribution to the emerging and fascinating area of enzyme technology and will serve as an excellent source of information for chemists, biochemists, biotechnologists and molecular biologists."<br> Carbohydrate Polymers<br>

Ronald Breslow is Professor of Chemistry at Columbia University. In addition to his work on Artificial Enzymes and Biomimetic Chemistry (there is now an annual ACS Ronald Breslow Award in Biomimetic Chemistry), he has created novel aromatic and antiaromatic molecules, and a new approach to cancer therapy that is in advanced clinical trials. His numerous awards include the U. S. National Medal of Science. He is a member of the U.S. National Academy of Science, and an honorary member of the Royal Society (Britain), the Royal Society of Chemistry, the Chemical Societies of Japan and Korea, and the Indian Academy of Science.

This first book on this fascinating topic is edited by one of today's most famous and internationally respected organic chemists, who has been studying enzyme mimics and artificial enzymes for more than four decades.<br> Ronald Breslow has brought together leading scientists in this expanding area for an in-depth survey of the synthesis and design of enzmye-like catalysts. <br> <br> From the contents: <br> <br> Biomimetic chemistry<br> Vitamin B6 enzyme models<br> Synthetic polymers with enzymatic activity<br> Catalytic antibodies<br> Protein-based artificial enzymes<br> Artificial metalloenzymes<br> Artificial restriction enzymes<br> <br> A first-stop resource containing valuable information for the developers and users of biomimetic catalysts from all fields, this book is highly recommended for chemists, biotechnologists and pharmaceutical researchers.<br> <br> <br>
