Green Chemistry and Engineering: A Pathway to Sustainability

Green Chemistry and Engineering A Pathway to Sustainability is divided into 11 chapters. The first three chapters provide background on the practices and principles of green chemistry and engineering, the impacts of chemistry in natural systems, and... 

Green chemistry and engineering a pathway to sustainability / Anne E. Marteel-Parrish,... 

The combination of identifying metabolic compounds that are accessible by state-of-the-art techniques of metabolic pathway engineering, and examination of their synthetic application potential implies a number of advantages when compared with other current approaches to the production of new compound classes. On the one hand, this approach is based on sustainable access and the production of compounds by a safe and environmental friendly route (green chemistry). On the other hand, the amount of functionalization makes it possible to apply diversity-oriented chemical methods for modification (combinatorial chemistry).
