Product Description
The phenomenon of protein folding has become the focus of intense scientific inquiry. Researchers have realised the importance of understanding how proteins adopt their folding conformations, and are developing experimental techniques to attack this problem. , Protein Folding is a report on the current state of this crucial area of research-the 4y experiments, techniques, and implications of recent findings on modem biotechnology and biomedicine. Its authors are the world’s leading investigators in this field, including: R M. Richards, Department of Molecular Biophysics and Biochemistry, Yale University – Janet M Thornton, Biomolecular Structure and Modelling Unit, University College,. . London, UK – Peter L Privokv, Institute of Protein Research, Academy of Sciences, Moscow – Martin Karplus and E. S h, Department of Chemistry, Harvard University – Franz X Schmid, Department of Biochemistry, Universitat Bayreuth, Germany . Oleg B. Ptilsyn, Institute of Protein Research, Academy of Sciences, Moscow Thomas E. Creighton, European Molecular Biology Laboratory, Heidelberg, Germany David P. Goldenberg, Department of Biology, University of Utah – Jean-Renaud Garel, Laboratoire d’Enzymologie du CNRS, Gifsur-Yvette, France – Robert B. Freedman, Biological Laboratory, University of Kent, Canterbury, UK.

If you’ve ever been stymied by those pesky little proteins this tome will help lift the veil. Also makes great light subway reading!

I am only writing this review out of fear that someone take up the other reviewer’s advice and buy this book as “light subway reading” or that a serious protein chemist NOT buy it for the same reason. This is a truly fascinating book but you had better have your thermodynamics fresh in mind because you will need it here. The prevailing theories about protein folding are explained in great detail. This book is specialized in the best meaning of the word!
