DOI: DOI: 10.1007/978-3-658-47121-7Online resources: Summary: Biology and Technology, An Introduction -- Fundamentals of Technical Biochemistry -- The Basis of All Biochemical Reactions in Primary Metabolism -- Bioorganic Reactions and Building Blocks of Natural Product Biosynthesis -- Technical Enzymes -- Vitamins -- The Basis of All Biochemical Reactions in Primary Metabolism -- Carbohydrate Metabolism -- Amino Acid Metabolism -- Fatty Acid Biosynthesis and ABE Metabolism -- Secondary Metabolism and Important Biotechnological Pathways -- Phenolic Natural Products -- Terpenes -- Alkaloids -- Antibiotics -- Environmental Biochemistry -- Biochemical Processes in the Future.Summary: This biochemistry textbook has been revised and expanded for its second edition. It provides biotechnologists and bioprocess engineers with valuable insights into Technical Biochemistry, showing how technology and biology can complement each other. The authors aim to present a textbook for bioengineering students, linking biological concepts with technical and engineering challenges. It focuses on biochemical principles in natural product biosynthesis and their biotechnological and bioprocess engineering pathways. Content: Application of biochemistry in medicine, pharmacy, and engineering Photosynthesis – The chemistry of light Carbohydrate metabolism – Sugars as energy carriers Amino acids and peptides – Proteins as biocatalysts Carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins – Building blocks for technical and pharmaceutical substances Biosyntheses of primary and secondary metabolism Natural product biosynthesis – Secondary metabolites Target Audience: Students of bioprocess engineering, biotechnology, pharmacy, and chemistry Biologists, biotechnologists, process engineers, pharmacists, and chemists with a focus on biotechnology The Authors: Oliver Kayser, professor of Technical Biochemistry at the Technical University of Dortmund, specializes in the biosynthesis of cannabinoids in yeast. Nils Averesch, a bioengineering PhD with a focus on metabolic engineering, leads a research group at Stanford University exploring bioproduction of biomaterials using greenhouse gases. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence. A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content. This book is a translation of an original German edition. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional translation.PPN: PPN: 1926115910Package identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-2-SEB | ZDB-2-CMS | ZDB-2-SXC
