This review is aimed to provide a concise yet extensive survey of key short bioactive peptide
sequences for a range of applications ranging from biomaterials development to peptides …

The carbamate group is a key structural motif in many approved drugs and prodrugs. There
is an increasing use of carbamates in medicinal chemistry and many derivatives are …

Inorganic nanoparticles are frequently engineered with an organic surface coating to
improve their physicochemical properties, and it is well known that their colloidal properties …

Almost one-third of all proteases can be classified as serine proteases, named for the
nucleophilic Ser residue at the active site. This mechanistic class was originally …

Comparative protein structure prediction is limited mostly by the errors in alignment and loop
modeling. We describe here a new automated modeling technique that significantly …

The breadth of structure and function displayed by the molecules of biology is remarkable.
Considering that there are only three major biopolymer backbones (proteins, ribonucleic …

Proteases form one of the largest and more important groups of enzymes. They selectively
catalyze the hydrolysis of peptide bonds and can be divided into four major classes …

Subtilases are members of the clan (or superfamily) of subtilisin‐like serine proteases. Over
200 subtilases are presently known, more than 170 of which with their complete amino acid …

From reviews to the first edtion:" Bornscheuer and Kazlauskas have set out, and succeeded,
in producing a definitive manual on hydrolytic enzymes (especially lipases, esterases, and …

Serine hydrolases (SHs) consist of> 200 enzymes in humans characterized by the presence
of an active site serine that is used for the hydrolysis of substrates. The membership of this …
