Mechanical Catalysis: Methods of Enzymatic, Homogeneous, and Heterogeneous Catalysis

1st Edition

by Gerhard Swiegers (Author)

• Provides a clear and systematic description of the key role played by catalyst reactant dynamism including: (i) the fundamental processes at work, (ii) the origin of its general and physical features, (iii) the way it has evolved, and (iv) how it relates to catalysis in man-made systems.
• Unifies homogeneous, heterogeneous, and enzymatic catalysis into a single, conceptually coherent whole.
• Describes how to authentically mimic the underlying principles of enzymatic catalysis in man-made systems.
• Examines the origin and role of complexity and complex Systems Science in catalysis--very hot topics in science today.
