Molecular Dynamics and Complexity in Catalysis and Biocatalysis

This textbook provides a concise comparison of catalytic and biocatalytic systems, outlining their catalytic properties and peculiarities. It also introduces the science of catalysis and attempts to unify different catalytic systems into a single, conceptually coherent structure. Molecular dynamics and complexity occur in both catalysts and biocatalysts, with many similarities in their structural configuration and operational mechanisms. The interactions between the different components of the catalytic system are discussed, and each chapter includes end-of-chapter questions supported by an online instructor solution manual. It will be useful for undergraduate and graduate chemistry and biochemistry students.
