About this title

Synopsis

The Handbook of Proteins provides scientists and students with a focused and accessible resource covering all aspects of protein biochemistry. It describes traditional and state-of-the-art techniques for elucidating protein function and structure. 

• Derived from the acclaimed Encyclopedia of Life Sciences
• Presented in full-colour throughout
• Assembles more than 200 peer-reviewed articles, written by top scientists in each field
• The articles are reliable, self-contained and cross-referenced throughout
• Almost all aspects of protein structure, function, and chemistry are illuminated by one or more articles
• Numerous articles also provide an introduction to methods for purifying proteins, determining their structures and properties, and cataloguing them in databases
• Dozens of additional articles detail important aspects of enzymatic catalysis and protein-ligand interactions

The Handbook of Proteins is a comprehensive and authoritative resource for teachers, students and researchers in the molecular life sciences. The easy layout encourages frequent retrieval.
