Methods in Protein Structure and Stability Analysis: Conformational Stability, Size, Shape and Surface of Protein Molecules

by Vladimir Uversky (Editor), Eugene A. Permyakov (Editor)

Protein research is a frontier field in science. Proteins are widely distributed in plants and animals and are the principal constituents of the protoplasm of all cells, and consist essentially of combinations of a-amino acids in peptide linkages. Twenty different amino acids are commonly found in proteins, and serve as enzymes, structural elements, hormones, immunoglobulins, etc., and are involved throughout the body, and in photosynthesis. This book gathers new leading-edge research from throughout the world in this exciting and exploding field of research.
