"The handbook provides detailed descriptions of a variety of methods used for performing enzymatic reactions in nonaqueous media." - Journal of the American Chemical Society "...includes detailed descriptions of the latest technologies used for biocatalysis in nearly anhydrous systems. Numerous specific enzymatic reactions, bioreactors, and useful techniques are carefully explained in a format intelligible to most readers in spite of the great diversity of the fields covered. This work of reference will be extremely valuable to those interested in enzymatic and asymmetric synthesis." - Natural Products Reports
