Enzymology for Biotechnologists provides a comprehensive introduction to enzymology with a strong focus on its applications in biotechnology. Chapters cover the fundamental principles of enzyme structure, function, kinetics, and assays, and extends into advanced topics such as enzyme production, immobilization, reactor design, process intensification, and the use of enzymes in low-water and green solvent systems. Special attention is given to industrial applications, grey and white biotechnology, and the integration of processes that highlight sustainability and innovation. The book presents enzymology from a perspective of biotechnology, and focuses on scale-up, process design, and industrial applications. This targeted approach makes sure that BTech, MTech, MSc, and PhD students, as well as researchers and professionals, gain not only a solid understanding of enzyme science but also its translation into real-world biotechnological processes.

Über Autor(innen)

Tripathi, Timir
Dr. Timir Tripathi is a Professor of Molecular Biology, School of Life Sciences, North-Eastern Hill University, Shillong, India. He previously held positions as Regional Director of IGNOU in Kohima and a Senior Assistant Professor in the Department of Biochemistry at NEHU. His research focuses on protein–substrate interactions, conformational dynamics, and the regulatory roles of non-catalytic domains. He is especially interested in intrinsically disordered and phase-separated proteins, their roles in disease, and, more recently, molecular memory, adaptive learning, and intelligence in proteins. Professor Tripathi has received several awards and is an Associate Fellow of the Indian National Science Academy, New Delhi, and an elected member of the National Academy of Sciences, India. He is a section editor of Elsevier's International Journal of Biological Macromolecules and has published five books with Elsevier.

Gupta, Munishwar Nath
Dr. Munishwar Nath Gupta earned his PhD from Indian Institute of Science, Bengaluru, and completed post-doctoral positions at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (USA), University of Minnesota (USA), Lund University (Sweden), and University of Technology of Compiegne (France). He has taught chemistry, biochemistry, and biotechnology at Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi, between 1975-2016. He was awarded the National Science Talent fellowship (India) and Fellowships of National Academy of Sciences and Indian National Science Academy. He has edited three books on thermostability of enzymes, non-aqueous enzymology and affinity-based separation methods (published by Springer/Birkhauser). He was an Associate Editor of Biocatalysis and Biotransformation (Taylor and Francis) and founding and former editor-in-chief of Sustainable Chemical Processes (Springer). He’s served on editorial boards of several national and international journals and acted as a consultant to Novozyme (Denmark), Dabur (India), and other international companies. His research interests include applied biocatalysis and interfaces of biochemistry with nanotechnology.
