Synopsis
Since the publication of the second edition of "Fundamentals of Enzymology" in 1989 there has been a large increase in the knowledge of several aspects of enzymology, not least the rapid acceleration of structural characterization of enzymes and the development of the field of bioinformatics. This edition places appropriate emphasis on this knowledge and consolidates the strengths of the previous editions. As before, the book gives an all-round view of the field including enzyme purification and characterization, enzyme structure (including information on World Wide Web sites), enzyme kinetics, the mechanisms and control of enzyme action, enzyme folding, how enzymes act in vivo, enzyme synthesis and degradation, and also clinical and industrial applications of enzymology. Throughout the book, the integration of these themes is stressed. This book is intended for second or third (fourth in Scotland) year undergraduates on biochemistry/molecular biology courses.
