| Abstract | "The book 'Chemistry of Nitriles' provides relevant and updated information about the unique class of compounds called nitriles. The presence of cyano groups characterizes nitriles and is of great significance in diverse industrial processes. This book encompasses seven chapters presenting a critical perspective of nitriles involving chemical and biological aspects. Various chemical, industrial, and biological processes have shown the involvement of nitrile compounds as key intermediate compounds. Microorganisms can metabolize these compounds through various metabolic processes involving diverse enzyme systems. The role of these compounds in biotechnological advancements has been elaborated in various chapters. The enzymes discussed in this book include nitrilase, nitrile hydratase, amidase, and aldoxime dehydratases. Bioprocess development and novel immobilization strategies with immense commercial potential have been discussed threadbare in this book. Hence, this book will be of great value for budding microbiologists and biotechnologists to obtain updated information on incorporating new and innovative technologies in research and development. Furthermore, chemists and pharmaceutical scientists will also target readers of this book. The reaction mechanisms and chemical transformation experimentations have revealed the fascinating world of chemistry involving nitrile compounds. This book will be a treat for science enthusiasts interested in interdisciplinary research and the significant role of nitriles in the interdependency of chemistry and biology, thus serving as a platform for future novel research and outcomes"-- Provided by publisher. |
