This 1994 book provides a fascinating account of the fast-moving field of lipase research. The contributions, written by active research workers, summarise developments in the field and give access to recent literature. It covers both the lipases proper (triglyceride lipases and the phospholipases. It gives a comprehensive picture of the state of knowledge of these enzymes, with a strong bias towards the fields that are attracting the greatest attention: their detailed molecular structure, their mechanism of action, their position in the evolution of enzymes, and their application both in the laboratory and industry. The book will continue to be of interest to those working in universities, in research institutes and in companies specialising in biotechnology. The book will also be a useful reference book for postgraduate students entering this field of research.
