Discovering Enzymes

Discovering Enzymes chronicles the discovery and subsequent research that has unlocked the secrets of enzymes. David Dressler--acknowledged as one of the best teachers at Harvard--and Huntington Potter convey the excitement of scientific detectives work as they show how the attempt to understand alcoholic fermentation led to the discovery of enzymes, how the key to enzymatic function was uncovered, and how enzymes are isolated and studied at the molecular level.
