Kinetics and Thermodynamics: Xylose isomerase from Cereus pterogonous

The book "Kinetics and Thermodynamics: Xylose Isomerase from Cereus pterogonous" offers a comprehensive analysis of the thermal behavior of xylose isomerase extracted from the plant Cereus pterogonous. It addresses both kinetic aspects and the thermodynamic parameters of thermal inactivation, which is novel in this form. The authors, Kotteazeth Srikumar, Irisappan Ganesh, and Sambandam Ravikumar, aim to promote a deeper understanding of the role of thermostable enzymes in the eukaryotic domain. These findings could potentially have applications in industry, commerce, and even clinical medicine. The book represents a significant step towards appreciating the thermal behavior of enzymes and their inactivation by heat.
