Biochemical reactions in all living matter are catalyzed by enzymes that typically help convert one chemical to another. Enzymes are catalysts that recognize a specific chemical compound, such as a single stereoisomer. An organized collection of clones which represent all of the genes present in a particular organism. Metabolic Engineering - The controlled modification of an organism. Mesophile - An organism that lives in moderate temperature environments.
Humans are mesophiles.
The study of the structure and function of macromolecules in living cells aimed at explaining as completely as possible in molecular terms the biology of cells and organisms. Organism and Enzyme Libraries Organized collections of individual organisms and enzymes with diverse properties for use in biocatalytic screening. Process Optimization - Implementation of the most advantageous method for product scale up. Protein - A molecule composed of a chain of amino acids. The linear sequence of amino acids determines the molecule s function.
