Beschreibung

Comprehensively introduces readers to modelling of rate of enzymatic reactions, including effects of physicochemical parameters Analysis of Enzyme Reaction Kinetics is the second set in a unique eleven-volume collection on Enzyme Reactor Engineering. It describes rate expressions pertaining to enzymatic reactions, including modulation by physicochemical factors, as well as tools for prediction and control of how fast substrates are transformed to products. Volume 1 details rate expressions mathematically derived from mechanistic postulates, and is complemented by appropriate statistical approaches to fit them to experimental data. Volume 2 discusses the effects of physical and chemical parameters upon the rates of both enzyme-catalyzed and enzyme-deactivation reactions. Starting with basic concepts and historical perspectives, the first volume introduces readers to the mathematics of rate expressions. It then goes on to cover kinetic features and the many forms of Michaelis & Menten's-type rate expressions (single and multiple enzymes, autocatalysis, single and multiple substrates, multiphasic systems, etc.), and concludes with the statistical analysis of rate expressions - including the assessment of data, fitting of models to data, and generation of data themselves. The second volume introduces readers to physicochemical modulation of reaction rate - starting with basic concepts, and looking specifically at temperature-, mechanical force-, pH- and compound-driven effects: both unimodal and bimodal deactivation are considered. Analysis of Enzyme Reaction Kinetics 2V Set is a comprehensive work for those studying or working with enzyme reactions, or practitioners involved in the control of reactors. SERIES INFORMATION Enzyme Reactor Engineering is organized into four major sets: Enzyme Reaction Kinetics and Reactor Performance; Analysis of Enzyme Reaction Kinetics; Analysis of Enzyme Reactor Performance; and Mathematics for Enzyme Reaction Kinetics and Reaction Performance.

In addition, he has developed work on: microbiological and biochemical characterization, and technological improvement of traditional foods; development of nutraceutical ingredients and functional foods; rational application of unit operations to specific agri‐food processing; and design and development of novel photobioreactors for cultivation of microalgae, aimed at biofuel or high added‐value compound production. To date, he has published 425+ papers in peer-reviewed international journals that received more than 15,500 official citations in all (w/o self‐citations), corresponding to an h-index of 62; he has supervised 31 PhD dissertations successfully concluded; he wrote 15 monographic books and edited 5 multiauthored books; and he authored more than 50 chapters in edited books and 35 papers in trade journals, besides more than 50 technical publications. He was also a member of ca. 60 peer reviewing committees of research projects and fellowships; he acted as supervisor of 92 individual fellowships, most at PhD and postdoctoral levels, and collaborated in 61 R&D projects – of which he has served as principal investigator in 37; he participated in 51 organizing/scientific committees of professional meetings; he delivered 150+ invited lectures worldwide, besides almost 600 volunteer presentations in congresses and workshops; he has served in the editorial board of 5 major journals in the applied biotechnology, and food science and engineering areas; and he reviewed several hundred manuscripts for journals and encyclopediae.

Series Preface

Ad augusta per angusta.

(Toward the top, through hard work.)

Comprehensive mathematical simulation – using mechanistic models as far as possible, constitutes an essential contribution to rationally characterize performance, as well as support design and drive optimization of any enzyme reactor. However, too often studies available in the literature – including text and reference books, deal with extensive modelling of chemical reactors that employ inorganic catalysts, or instead present extensive kinetic analysis of enzymes acting only (and implicitly) in batch apparatuses. Although constraining from an engineering perspective, this status quo is somewhat expected – because chemical engineers typically lack biochemical background, while biochemists miss engineering training. Meanwhile, rising environmental concerns and stricter legislation worldwide have urged the industry to resort to more sustainable, efficient, and cleaner processes – which tend to mimic natural (i.e. enzyme‐mediated) pathways; they generate essentially no polluting effluents or residues, require mild conditions of operation, and exhibit low‐energy requirements – while taking advantage of the extremely high activity and unique substrate selectivity of enzymes. The advent of genetic engineering has also dramatically contributed to drop the unit price, and widen the portfolio of enzymes for industrial purposes, via overexpression in transformed microorganisms and development of sophisticated purification techniques; and advances in molecular engineering have further permitted specific features, in terms of performance and stability, be imparted to enzymes for tailored uses – besides overcoming their intrinsic susceptibility to decay.

An innovative approach is thus in order, where fundamental and applied aspects pertaining to enzyme reactors are comprehensively tackled – built upon mathematical simulation, and encompassing various ideal and nonideal configurations, presented and discussed in a consistent and pragmatic way. Enzyme Reactor Engineering pursues this goal, and accordingly conveys the most integrated and complete treatment of the subject of enzyme reactors to date; it will likely materialize a qualitative leap toward more efective strategies of describing, designing, and optimizing said reactors. More than a mere description of technology, true engineering aspects departing from first principles are put forward, and their rationale is systematically emphasized – with special attention paid to stepwise derivation of the underlying equations, so as to permit a self‐paced learning program by any student possessing elementary knowledge of algebra, calculus and statistics. A careful selection of mathematical tools deemed useful for enzyme reactors is also provided in dedicated volumes, for the more inquisitive students and practitioners – in a straightforward, yet fully justified manner. Furthermore, appropriate examples, based (at least) on Michaelis and Menten's enzymatic kinetics and first order enzyme decay, are worked out in full – for their being representative of industrial situations, while exhibiting a good compromise between practical applicability and mathematical simplicity. In this regard, the present book collection represents an unparalleled way of viewing enzyme reactors – clearly focused on the reactor component but prone to build an integrated picture, including mixture via momentum and mass transfer, and subsequent transformation via chemical reaction, with underlying enthalpic considerations as found necessary.

In a word, Enzyme Reactor Engineering
