This book is a comprehensive introduction to the study of proteins and their importance to modern biochemistry. Each chapter addresses the structure and function of proteins with a definitive theme designed to enhance student understanding. Opening with a brief historical overview of the subject the book moves on to discuss the 'building blocks' of proteins and their respective chemical and physical properties. Later chapters explore experimental and computational methods of comparing proteins, methods of protein purification and protein folding and stability. The latest developments in the field are included in this thoroughly revised edition and key concepts are introduced in a user-friendly way to ensure that students are able to grasp the essentials before moving on to more advanced study and analysis of proteins. Maintaining the successful approach and structure of the first edition, the second will represent a major update and include the following specific changes: * Enhanced coverage of proteomics and genomics * Expansion of material on physical methods used to determine protein structure. * More in-depth treatment of membrane proteins
