In recent years, interest in proteins has surged. This resurgence has been driven by the expansion of the post-genomic era when structural genomics and proteomics require new techniques in protein chemistry and new applications of older techniques. Protein chemistry methods are used by nearly every discipline of biomedical research. Many techniques

No detailed description available for "Modern methods in protein chemistry".

This class-tested textbook gives an overview of the structure and functions of proteins and explains how amino acids form a defined structural entity with specific properties. The authors also introduce modern methods for purification and separation of proteins as well as different techniques for analyzing their structural and functional properties. A separate part of the book is devoted to enzymes and kinetics of enzymatic reactions.

This book presents a survey of recent developments in protein biochemistry. Top researchers in the field of protein biochemistry describe modern methods to address the challenges of protein purification by three-phase partitioning, and their folding and degradation by the functions of chaperones. The significance of peptide purity for fibril formation is addressed as well as the use of target oriented peptide arrays in palliative approaches in mucoviszidose. The design and application of protein epitope mimetics just as the structural resolving of the misfolding of various mutant proteins in serpinopathies enlarge our tools in resolving pathophysiological imbalances.

Assembly, Architecture and Application

Encompassing all aspects of the structures of peptides and proteins, this book adopts a uniquely problem-oriented approach to the topic. Starting with a look at the structures and properties of the twenty amino acids that occur in proteins, and moving on to the synthesis of polypeptides and the isolation of proteins, Peptides and Proteins then addresses the methods of analysis of protein characteristics, including the modern methods of sequence analysis by mass spectrometry. Further chapters examine the three-dimensional nature of protein structure, and introduce the student to the use of computer applications (molecular graphics, databases, bioinformatics) in protein chemistry. Original research data is used in many of the problems, and throughout sufficient background biology is included, thus putting the subject into context for chemists. Aimed at first and second-year chemistry students, this title will also be of interest to students of biochemistry. Ideal for the needs of undergraduate chemistry students, Tutorial Chemistry Texts is a major new series consisting of short, single topic or modular texts concentrating on the fundamental areas of chemistry taught in undergraduate science courses. Each book provides a concise account of the basic principles underlying a given subject, embodying an independent-learning philosophy and including worked examples.

Computational modeling can provide a wealth of insight into how energy flow in proteins mediates protein function. Computational methods can also address fundamental questions related to molecular signaling and energy flow in proteins. Proteins: Energy, Heat and Signal Flow presents state-of-the-art computational strategies for studying energy redi

Human cells produce at least 30,000 different proteins. Each has a specific function characterized by a unique sequence and native conformation that allows it to perform that function. While research in this post-genomic era has created a deluge of invaluable information, the field has lacked for an authoritative introductory text needed to inform

Ein praxisorientierter Leitfaden für Studenten im Hauptstudium. Vermittelt werden aktuelle Techniken der Molekularbiologie und Biochemie als fester Bestandteil eines Forschungsprojektes. Auf diese Weise kann der Lernende die Auswirkung der Gentechnik anhand der praktischen Anwendung von nassanalytischen biochemischen Verfahren erkennen. Mit Computer-Tutorials für Sequenzierung, Genomik und Molekülmodellierung. Mit Tipps und Hinweisen zur Sichtung der Primärliteratur, zu mündlichen Berichten, zur Protokollierung des Labortagebuchs und zum Verfassen von Berichten. Mit einer Liste von amerikanischen und europäischen kommerziellen Anbietern von Reagenzien. Verständlich und anschaulich geschrieben. Ein unverzichtbares Lehrbuch für fortgeschrittene Studenten und Doktoranden. "Methods in Molecular Biology" ist jedoch NICHT geeignet für aktive Forscher auf der Suche nach den neuesten hochdifferenzierten Verfahren.
