Reference book on catalytic mechanisms of enzymes

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the search for a comprehensive reference book detailing the catalytic mechanisms of enzymes. Participants recommend two specific titles: "Enzyme Catalysis: Principles and Methods" available at Wiley Online Library and "Enzymatic Reaction Mechanisms" from Springer. These resources provide in-depth explanations of various enzymatic catalysis categories and mechanisms, making them suitable for researchers and students in biochemistry.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of enzymatic catalysis principles
  • Familiarity with biochemistry terminology
  • Knowledge of enzyme classification
  • Basic comprehension of biochemical reaction mechanisms
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore "Enzyme Catalysis: Principles and Methods" for detailed mechanisms
  • Read "Enzymatic Reaction Mechanisms" for comprehensive enzymatic processes
  • Investigate the role of cofactors in enzyme catalysis
  • Study the kinetics of enzymatic reactions using Michaelis-Menten theory
USEFUL FOR

Biochemists, researchers in enzymology, and students studying enzyme mechanisms will benefit from this discussion, particularly those seeking detailed references on catalytic mechanisms.

Hi everyone,

I'm curious if anyone knows of a reference book on enzymes that discusses each enzyme's catalytic mechanism(s). I've consulted several books that explain the different categories of enzymatic catalysis but I'm looking more for an encyclopedic reference that explains such information in-depth.

Thanks!
