Proteins (eBook)

Proteins Biochemistry and Biotechnology 2e is a definitive
source of information for all those interested in protein science,
and particularly the commercial production and isolation of
specific proteins, and their subsequent utilization for applied
purposes in industry and medicine.

Fully updated throughout with new or fundamentally revised
sections on proteomics as, bioinformatics, protein
glycosylation and engineering, well as sections
detailing advances in upstream processing and newer
protein applications such as enzyme-based biofuel
production this new edition has an increased focus on
biochemistry to ensure the balance between biochemisty and
biotechnology, enhanced with numerous case studies.

This second edition is an invaluable text for undergraduates of
biochemistry and biotechnology but will also be relevant to
students of microbiology, molecular biology, bioinformatics and any
branch of the biomedical sciences who require a broad overview of
the various medical, diagnostic and industrial uses of proteins.

* Provides a comprehensive overview of all aspects of protein
biochemisty and protein biotechnology

* Includes numerous case studies

* Increased focus on protein biochemistry to ensure balance
between biochemisty and biotechnology

* Includes new section focusing on proteomics as well as
sections detailing protein function and enzyme-based biofuel
production

"With the potential of a standard reference source on the topic,
any molecular biotechnologist will profit greatly from having this
excellent book. " (Engineering in Life Sciences, 2004; Vol
5; No. 5)

"Few texts would be considered competitors, and none compare
favorably." (Biochemistry and Molecular Education,
July/August 2002)

"...The book is well written, making it informative and easy to
read..." (The Biochemist, June 2002)
