About the Book
This first
volume of the Metabolic Engineering
Handbook Fundamentals provides an overview of metabolic pathway engineering with a look towards the
future. It discusses cellular metabolism, including transport processes inside
the cell and energy generating reactions, as well as rare metabolic
conversions. This volume also explores balances and reaction models, the
regulation of metabolic pathways, and genome scale and multiscale modeling
tools. It also covers developing appropriate hosts for metabolic engineering
including the use of Escherichia coli
, yeast, bacillus subtilis, streptomyces, filamentous fungi, annd
mammalian cells using cell culture.
Christine Smolke, who recently developed a novel way to churn out large quantities of drugs from
genetically modified brewer’s yeast, is regarded
as one of the most brilliant new minds in biomedical engineering. In this
handbook, she brings together pioneering scientists from dozens of disciplines
to provide a complete record of accomplishment in metabolic pathway engineering.
With a wealth of cutting edge research and analysis, this work also serves as
an invaluable resource for those seeking to add their own contributions. Organized
by topic, this 3000 page reference is available as two volumes that can be
purchased individually or as a set.
