The Springer Handbook of Enzymes provides concise data on some 5,000 enzymes sufficiently well characterized – and here is the second, updated edition. Their application in analytical, synthetic and biotechnology processes as well as in food industry, and for medicinal treatments is added. Data sheets are arranged in their EC-Number sequence. The new edition reflects considerable progress in enzymology: the total material has more than doubled, and the complete 2nd edition consists of 39 volumes plus Synonym Index. Starting in 2009, all newly classified enzymes are treated in Supplement Volumes.

The objective of the Enzyme Handbook is to provide in a concise form data on enzymes sufficiently well characterized. Data of about 3000 enzymes are presently known and their data sheets will be published at a frequency of 200 per quarter. The data sheets are arranged in their EC Number sequence, Vol. 6 containing Oxidoreductases (Class 1.2: Acting on aldehyde or keto-group of donors, Class 1.3: Acting on CH-CH group of donors, Class 1.4: Acting on CH-NH2 group of donors). For each enzyme, systematic and common names are given, information on reaction type, substrate and product spectrum, inhibitors, cofactors, kinetic data, pH and temperature range, origin, purification, molecular data and storage conditions are listed. A reference list completes the data sheet. This collection is an indispensable source of information for researchers applying enzymes in analysis, synthesis and biotechnology.
