Advances in Biochemicd E~ecring/BiotechnoIogyr ev i m actual vends in modem
biotcchnology. Its aim is to cover all aspects of this interdisciplinary technology where
knowledge, methods and expertire are reqoired for chemistry, biochemistry, micm-
biology, genetics, chemical engineering and computer science. Special volumes are dedi-
cated to selected topics which focus on new hiote&ologial products and new pm-
cerres for their synthesis and purificetion. They give the statedthe-art of a topic in a
comprehensive way thus being a valuable source for the next 3-5 y m . I t also discusses
new discoveries and applications.
In general,special volumes are edited bywell knownguest edilom.The managingeditor
and publisher will however always be pleased to receive suggestions and supplementary
information. Manuscript$a re accepted in English.
