Ben - Tal Nir (Tel Aviv University Israel) - Introduction To Proteins Structure Function And Motion Second Edition - Hardcover

Binding: Hardcover
Description: Introduction to Proteins provides a comprehensive and state - of - the - art introduction to the structure function and motion of proteins for students faculty and researchers at all levels. The book covers proteins and enzymes across a wide range of contexts and applications including medical disorders drugs toxins chemical warfare and animal behavior. Each chapter includes a Summary Exercises and References. New features in the thoroughly - updated second edition include: 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 (which can be viewed by smartphones) An in - depth discussion of G - protein - coupled receptors (GPC Rs) 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 Each chapter includes a Summary Exercies and References Approximately 300 color images Downloadable solutions manual available at www. crcpress. com For more information including all presentations tables animations and exercises as well as a complete teaching course on proteins structure and function please visit the author's website. Praise for the first edition " This book captures in a very accessible way a growing body of literature on the structure function and motion of proteins. This is a superb publication that would be very useful to undergraduates graduate students postdoctoral researchers and instructors involved in structural biology or biophysics courses or in research on protein structure - function relationships." - - David Sheehan Chem Bio Chem 2011 " Introduction to Proteins is an excellent state - of - the - art choice for students faculty or researchers needing a monograph on protein structure. This is an immensely informative thoroughly researched up - to - date text with broad coverage and remarkable depth. Introduction to Proteins would provide an excellent basis for an upper - level or graduate course on protein structure and a valuable addition to the libraries of professionals interested in this centrally important field." - - Eric Martz Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education 2012
