Abstract
The modern view of enzymes as complex biological machines with unique structures, complex catalytic mechanisms, and specific conformational dynamics and the wide spread of their industrial and pharmaceutical applications are the result of extensive efforts of a big army of scientists with very different backgrounds. In this chapter, we provide a brief admittedly subjective overview of the most important steps that led to the current understanding of the enzyme structure and function. We describe developments in applied enzymology and white biotechnology, talk about enzymes in neat solvents, and also describe some common myths about applications of enzymes.
