Written primarily for students completing an undergraduate bioscience degree, Enzymes, Volume 2: Enzymes at Work provides a practical introduction to the advanced study, regulation, applications, and engineering of enzymes.

Enzymes, Volume 2: Enzymes at Work introduces mid- to advanced undergraduate students to multi-substrate reactions, enzyme regulation and applications, and protein engineering. It supports broader biochemical studies through a wide range of examples, building on the basic coverage of the topic in Enzymes, Volume 1: Nature's Chemical Machines.

Key features:

· Oxford Biology Primers are the only resource to introduce prospective and current students of undergraduate-level bioscience to a range of topics from this dynamic experimental science, enticing readers to study further
· Its titles directly support two key transitions in the student journey: from school to undergraduate-level study, and from undergraduate to independent researcher
· Its modular format offers a high degree of flexibility, with teachers being able to draw on specific volumes that augment the post-16 curriculum, university lecturers being able to draw on specific volumes at different stages of the undergraduate curriculum

The edition is available for students and institutions to purchase in a variety of formats: the e-book and Science Trove offer a mobile experience and convenient access, functionality tools, navigation features and links that offer extra learning support.
