Protein Physics: A Course of Lectures
Autor Alexei V. Finkelstein, Oleg Ptitsynen Limba Engleză Paperback – 26 iun 2016
The book systematically summarizes and presents the results of several decades of worldwide fundamental research on protein physics, structure, and folding, describing many physical models that help readers make estimates and predictions of physical processes that occur in proteins.
New to this revised edition is the inclusion of novel information on amyloid aggregation, natively disordered proteins, protein folding in vivo, protein motors, misfolding, chameleon proteins, advances in protein engineering & design, and advances in the modeling of protein folding.
Further, the book provides problems with solutions, many new and updated references, and physical and mathematical appendices. In addition, new figures (including stereo drawings, with a special appendix showing how to use them) are added, making this an ideal resource for graduate and advanced undergraduate students and researchers in academia in the fields of biophysics, physics, biochemistry, biologists, biotechnology, and chemistry.
- Fully revised and expanded new edition based on the latest research developments in protein physics
- Written by the world's top expert in the field
- Deals with fibrous, membrane, and water-soluble globular proteins, in both their native and denatured states
- Summarizes, in a systematic form, the results of several decades of worldwide fundamental research on protein physics and their structure and folding
- Examines experimental data on protein structure in the post-genome era
