Hochschild Cohomology of Von Neumann Algebras cover

This book gives an introduction to biotransformations, the practice of harnessing biological catalysts for the preparation of useful chemicals.

This book is intended to give a non-specialist a comprehensive introduction to the science of biotransformations, the practice of harnessing biological catalysts for the preparation of useful fine chemicals such as pharmaceuticals, fragrances and flavours.This is an introductory text intended to give the non-specialist a comprehensive insight into the science of biotransformations. The book traces the history of biotransformations, clearly spells out the pros and cons of conducting enzyme-mediated versus whole-cell bioconversions, and gives a variety of examples wherein the bio-reaction is a key element in a reaction sequence leading from cheap starting materials to valuable end products.

"The authors …have succeeded in providing a very attractive account which will encourage researchers and graduate students …' C. J. K. Batty, Mathematical Reviews
'Because of its clear and efficient presentation of material from many directions of research, Hochschild cohomology of von Neumann algebras is recommended reading even for operator algebraists with only a casual interest in the cohomological side of their subject.' William L. Paschke, The Bulletin of the American Mathematical Society
'… a comprehensive and readable introduction to the field.' Monatshefte für Mathematik
