Structure and Mechanism in Protein Science: A Guide to Enzyme Catalysis and Protein Folding » (1st Edition)

For this text, Fersht offers four new chapters showing the impact of protein engineering on protein folding and catalysis (one on enzymology; three on specifics aspects of protein folding).

Extensively rewritten chapters cover:

• three-dimensional structure of proteins
• practical kinetics
• conformational change, allosteric regulation, motors, and work
• forces between molecules
• recombinant DNA technology
• case studies of enzyme structure and mechanism
• allosteric enzymes (expanded with coverage of G and motor proteins)
