Immobilized β-Galactosidase-Mediated Conversion of Lactose

Immobilized β-Galactosidase-Mediated Conversion of Lactose: Process, Kinetics and Modeling Studies by Fadzil Noor Gonawan (Author)

This book describes the reaction rate profiles of the ss-galactosidase-catalyzed conversion of lactose on the inner surface of a hollow fiber membrane, which is employed as an enzymatic reactor system. The reaction rate profiles were obtained by solving the mass transfer and kinetics of reaction in a 2-dimensional model of the system.

Protein Dimerization and Oligomerization in Biology

Protein Dimerization and Oligomerization in Biology (Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology) by Jacqueline M. Matthews (Editor)

This volume has a strong focus on homo-oligomerization, which is surprisingly common. However, protein function is so often linked to both homo- and hetero-oligomerization and many heterologous interactions likely evolved from homologous interaction, so this volume also covers many aspects of hetero-oligomerization.
