Inhaltsangabe

Protein Structure and Function considers the key concepts of protein structure and function and the relationship between sequence, structure and function with clear, concise explanations and full colour illustrations.

• Written by two outstanding names in the field, Gregory Petsko and Dagmar Ringe.
• Considers the principles of protein structure and folding, functional properties of proteins and regulation of protein function, and introduces the basic principles whereby structure and function are deduced from sequence.
• Fully up-to-date with emphasis on what sequence can tell you about structure and function.
• Ideal for undergraduates and graduates studying the fundamental principles of protein structure and function in departments of biochemistry and molecular biology, and working scientists needing an up-to-date introduction to the field.
• All 240 illustrations from Protein Structure and Function are available on the web as jpgs and downloadable tifs for teaching, at http://www.new-science-press.com/browse/protein/resources/

SPECIAL OFFER:

• the full text online for a year, for personal use only
• updates - revised, expanded, or new sections and updated references available online only

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Gregory Petsko is currently the Director of the prestigious Rosensteil Center at Brandeis University. His research interests include the use of yeast genetics to study the unfolding of protein response pathway and the mechanism of action of the ABC transporter proteings.

Dagmar Ringe is currently Professor of Biochemistry and Chemistry at Brandeis University studying structure-function relationships in enzymes of particular industrial and pharmaceutical importance.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

Introducing a new cutting edge book on protein structure and function that is an ideal introduction for students and a must for all reading lists.

Protein Structure and Function considers the key concepts of protein structure and function and the relationship between sequence, structure and function with clear, concise explanations and full colour illustrations.

• Written by two outstanding names in the field, Gregory Petsko and Dagmar Ringe
• Considers the principles of protein structure and folding, functional properties of proteins and regulation of protein function, and introduces the basic principles whereby structure and function are deduced from sequence
• Fully up-to-date with emphasis on what sequence can tell you about structure and function

The book is divided into five chapters:

Chapter 1 – From Sequence to Structure - introduces the principles of protein structure and folding, with the emphasis on the biophysical properties of proteins that determine their folding and structure

Chapter 2 –From Structure to Function - describes the principles of the main biochemical functions of proteins, namely binding and catalysis, with a short section on the properties of structural proteins

Chapter 3 – Control of Protein Function - focuses on the regulation of protein function and contains concise descriptions of all of the regulatory mechanisms that operate on proteins, from PH to phosphorylation, with several sections on protein switches based on nucleotide hydrolysis

Chapter 4 – From Sequence to Function - introduces the basic principles whereby structure and function are deduced from sequence, with illustrative examples

Chapter 5 – Structure Determination – outlines the methodology of X-ray crystallography and NMR spectroscopy and how data collected by these methods are interpreted.
