This textbook presents a concise comparison of catalytic and biocatalytic systems outlining their catalytic properties and peculiarities. Moreover, it presents a brief introduction to the science of catalysis and attempts to unify different catalytic systems into a single, conceptually coherent structure. In fact, molecular dynamics and complexity may occur in both catalysts and biocatalysts, with many similarities in both their structural configuration and operational mechanisms. Moreover, the interactions between the different components of the catalytic system  that are important in defining the overall activity, including the nature of active sites are discussed. Each chapter includes end of chapter questions supported by an online instructor solution manual. This textbook will be useful for undergraduate and graduate chemistry and biochemistry students.

lt;p>Marco Piumetti received his European PhD in Materials Science and Technology at the Politecnico di Torino in 2010. He trained at several academic institutions, including the Laboratoire de réactivité de surface-Sorbonne Université and Fritz-Haber Institute. He is an appointed professor teaching the courses Industrial Biochemistry and Introduction to Sustainable Engineering offered at the Politecnico di Torino. His research activities are currently conducted with the Catalytic Reaction Engineering for Sustainable Engineering (CREST) group of the Department of Applied Science and Technology (DISAT) at the Politecnico di Torino and concern the fields of catalysis, surface science, nanomaterials, biocatalysis and biotech applications.

Chapter 1. The Structure of Proteins.- Chapter 2. Enzymes and the Functions.- Chapter 3. Introduction to Molecular Catalysis.- Chapter 4. The Complex Nature of Active Sites.- Chapter 5. Complexity in Catalysis.
