Featured Book
Oxidative Folding of Peptides and Proteins (Royal Society of Chemistry)
The formation of disulfide bonds is probably the most influential modification of peptides and proteins with significant progress achieved in recent years, both concerning their in vivo situation and in vitro manipulation. This book is the first monograph covering this exciting and rapidly developing area with contributions from major experts in the field providing a comprehensive overview.
The topics covered include the enzymes involved in the correct oxidative folding of cysteine-containing proteins in prokaryotes and eukaryotes, their mimicking for successful in vitro folding of proteins, including synthetic replicates and important aspects concerning cysteine-rich peptides. The book will be particularly valuable for peptide and protein chemists involved in related research and production.

- The Art of Scientific Writing: From Student Reports to Professional Publications in Chemistry and Related Fields, 2nd, Completely Revised Edition
- by Hans Friedrich Ebel,Claus Bliefert,William E. Russey
- Most scientists live in a "publish or perish" environment, but few would describe themselves as brilliant (or enthusiastic) writers. Coming to the aid of all those wishing to improve the quality of their scientific writing -- established researchers and aspiring students alike -- three experienced authors/scientists from differing backgrounds and cultures have compiled this classic guide. This new edition has been completely revised to reflect dramatic changes in communication over the past 15 years. The...

- Analysis and Purification Methods in Combinatorial Chemistry
- by Bing Yan
- Quality measurement, control, and improvement in combinatorial chemistry Combinatorial chemistry has developed rapidly in the past decade, with great advances made by scientists working on analysis and purification of a large number of compounds and the analysis of polymer-bound compounds. However, formidable challenges lie ahead of today's researcher. For example, high-throughput analysis and purification technologies must be further developed to ensure combinatorial libraries are "purifiable," and...

- Protein Bioinformatics: An Algorithmic Approach to Sequence and Structure Analysis
- by Ingvar Eidhammer,Inge Jonassen,William R. Taylor
- Genomics and bioinformatics play an increasingly important and transformative role in medicine, society and agriculture. The mapping of the human genome has revealed 35,000 or so genes which might code for more than one protein, resulting in 100,000 proteins for the humans alone. Since proteins are attractive targets for developing drugs, efforts are now underway to map sequences and assign functions to many novel proteins. This book takes the novel approach to cover both the sequence and structure...

- Protein-Ligand Interactions: From Molecular Recognition to Drug Design
- by Hans-Joachim Böhm,Gisbert Schneider,Raimund Mannhold,Hugo Kubinyi,Gerd Folkers
- The lock-and-key principle formulated by Emil Fischer as early as the end of the 19th century has still not lost any of its significance for the life sciences. The basic aspects of ligand-protein interaction may be summarized under the term 'molecular recognition' and concern the specificity as well as stability of ligand binding. Molecular recognition is thus a central topic in the development of active substances, since stability and specificity determine whether a substance can be used as a drug....

- Directed Molecular Evolution of Proteins: or How to Improve Enzymes for Biocatalysis
- by Susanne Brakmann,Kai Johnsson
- Natural selection created optimal catalysts. However, optimal performance of enzyme catalysis does not necessarily refer to maximum reaction rate. Rather, it may be a compromise between specificity, rate, stability, and other chemical constraints that makes enzymes capable of catalyzing reactions under mild conditions and with high substrate specificity, accompanied by high regio- and enantioselectivity. The book presented here focuses on the directed evolution of proteins, which has established itself as...
