Chirality in Biological Nanospaces

<p>Activity in the nanodimensional active sites of large biological macromolecules greatly accelerates biological reactions. The chirality of the reactants also has a strong influence on the process but its importance in such biological reactions has only recently begun to be understood. This book explores the influence of chirality on reaction mechanisms in such biological nanospaces. The text addresses ribosomal architecture and the influence of the chirality of amino acid and sugar in the active sites of transferase oxidoreductases hydrolases lysases isomerase ligases and other systems. </p>
