Synopsis
This book is a comprehensive introduction to the study of proteinsand their importance to modern biochemistry. Each chapter addressesthe structure and function of proteins with a definitive themedesigned to enhance student understanding. Opening with a briefhistorical overview of the subject the book moves on to discuss the building blocks of proteins and their respectivechemical and physical properties. Later chapters exploreexperimental and computational methods of comparing proteins,methods of protein purification and protein folding and stability.The latest developments in the field are included in thisthoroughly revised edition and key concepts are introduced in auser–friendly way to ensure that students are able to grasp theessentials before moving on to more advanced study and analysis ofproteins.
Maintaining the successful approach and structure of the firstedition, the second will represent a major update and include thefollowing specific changes:
· Enhancedcoverage of proteomics and genomics
· Expansionof material on physical methods used to determine proteinstructure.
· Morein–depth treatment of membrane proteins
