Introduction to Proteins
Structure, Function, and Motion, Second Edition
Samenvatting
New features in the thoroughly-updated second edition
A brand-new chapter on enzymatic catalysis, describing enzyme biochemistry, classification, kinetics, thermodynamics, mechanisms, and applications in medicine and other industries. These are accompanied by multiple animations of biochemical reactions and mechanisms, accessible via embedded QR codes (can be viewed by smartphones)
An in-depth discussion of G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs)
A wider-scale description of biochemical and biophysical methods for studying proteins, including fully accessible internet-based resources, such as databases and algorithms
Animations of protein dynamics and conformational changes, accessible via embedded QR codes
Additional features
Extensive discussion of the energetics of protein folding, stability and interactions
A comprehensive view of membrane proteins, with emphasis on structure-function relationship
Coverage of intrinsically unstructured proteins, providing a complete, realistic view of the proteome and its underlying functions
Exploration of industrial applications of protein engineering and rational drug design
Approximately 300 color images
