Cold-Adapted Enzymes: Biochemistry and Biotechnology provides a cutting-edge investigation into the molecular mechanisms, structural dynamics, and regulatory pathways of enzymes adapted to cold environments.Beyond classical microbiology, the book explores cold adaptation from psychrophilic bacteria and Antarctic fungi to microalgae, plants, and mammalian cell physiology. It provides biochemistry insights into carbohydrate (amylases, glucoamylases) and lipid metabolism, proteases, and redox enzymes, alongside the roles of molecular chaperones and prokaryotic proteomics. A key highlight is its focus on next-generation biotechnology, featuring AI-driven protein design, advanced computational modeling, and structural bioinformatics. Bridging foundational science with market reality, the volume explores applications from organic waste valorization to industrial biocatalysis, analyzing the global patent landscape and commercial players.As the latest volume in the Foundations and Frontiers of Enzymology series, this book is an indispensable reference for researchers across biochemistry, biotechnology, structural biology, and microbiology.

Covers the molecular mechanisms developed by enzymes to improve their stability and compensate for the effects of cold exposureStudies the structure and biochemical properties of cold-adapted enzymesExplores current and potential applications of cold-adapted enzymes in different types of industries
