nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book provides a comprehensive, updated account of the physical basis of enhanced stability of thermophilic proteins and the design of tailor-made thermostable proteins, paving the way for their possible industrial applications. This book is devoted to understanding the survival mechanisms of 'thermophilic life forms' at the molecular level with an emphasis on design strategies. Basic structural, thermodynamic, and kinetic principles are explained and molecular strategies for the adaptation to high temperatures are delineated.

Thermostable Proteins: Structural Stability and Design provides a comprehensive, updated account of the physical basis of enhanced stability of thermophilic proteins and the design of tailor-made thermostable proteins, paving the way for their possible industrial applications. This book is devoted to understanding the survival mechanisms of "thermophilic life forms" at the molecular level with an emphasis on design strategies.
The review chapters presented in Thermostable Proteins span a wide range of protein thermostability research. Basic structural, thermodynamic, and kinetic principles are explained and molecular strategies for the adaptation to high temperatures are delineated. In addition, this book covers:
- Computing and simulation methods in current and future thermostability research, especially in nonempirical situations
- How rigidity theory is used to improve the thermal adaptation of mesophiles
- Subtilisin-like serine proteases and their significant engineering applications
- The state of knowledge concerning structure–function relations and the origins of their structural stability
- Computational and experimental approaches for the design of proteins with increased thermal stability based on sequences or three-dimensional structures
Understanding the molecular basis of how thermostable and hyperthermostable proteins gain and maintain their stability and biological function at high temperatures remains an important scientific challenge. A more detailed knowledge of protein stability not only deepens our understanding of protein structure but also helps in obtaining insights into processes that drive protein activities―folding, unfolding, and misfolding―essential to biological function.

About the Author
Dr. Srikanta Sen is currently working as a Senior Fellow at Chembiotek, a TCG Life Sciences group of companies in India. He has developed the Molecular Modeling and Computational Biology group of Chembiotek and has been leading the group for the last ten years. He received his M.Sc. degree in physics from Calcutta University, India. He pursued his Ph.D. work at the Theory Division of Saha Institute of Nuclear Physics, Calcutta and received his Ph.D. degree in Physics in 1991 from Calcutta University. He did his post-doctoral research between 1992 – 1998 at Umea University, Stockholm University and Karolinska Institute in Sweden. He then worked in Indian Institute of Chemical Biology in Calcutta, India for two years. He moved over to Chembiotek in 2001.
His research interest includes application of statistical mechanics to biomolecular systems; molecular modeling based investigations of structural, dynamical and interactional behaviors of biomolecules and their complexes; protein design; pharmacophore modeling; molecular docking and virtual screening of compounds to find leads in drug discovery projects; drug design; as well as QSPR based prediction of properties of compounds from their structures. He has also developed many computational tools to facilitate the research work of his group.
Prof. Lennart Nilsson is currently working at Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden, where he leads a research group in Molecular Modeling since 20 years. He obtained his M.Sc. degree in engineering physics as well as his PhD in theoretical physics (1983) from the Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm. He did his post-doctoral research 1983-1984 at Harvard University.
His research interests include protein-nucleic acid interactions, especially transcription factors and the ribosome, and questions concerning information transfer in biomolecular complexes. He is one of the core developers of the CHARMM molecular simulation program.

Right of withdrawal
If you are a consumer you can withdraw from the contract in accordance with the following. Consumer means any natural person who is acting for purposes which are outside his trade, business, craft or profession.
Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to AHA-BUCH GmbH, Einbeck, Germany, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
