  abstract: This book explores the field of biocatalysis and its application in asymmetric synthesis, providing a comprehensive overview of enzymatic processes used to generate chirality in chemical compounds. Edited by Gonzalo de Gonzalo and Andrés R. Alcántara, it delves into various enzymatic methods such as hydrolases, reductases, and oxidases, focusing on their role in green chemistry and sustainable practices. The work discusses the latest advancements in protein and medium engineering, computational methods for stereocontrol, and industrial applications of biocatalysis in the manufacture of chiral compounds. It is intended for researchers, practitioners, and students in organic chemistry and biocatalysis, aiming to enhance their understanding of cutting-edge biocatalytic techniques and their industrial relevance.
