Mechanisms of Protein Folding Roger H. Pain (Professor of Physical Biochemistry, Department of Biochemistry and Genetics, University of Newcastle upon Tyne)
The past five years have seen a giant leap forward in our understanding of the way proteins fold into their three dimensional, functional conformations. In this volume a group of leading scientists in the field review and assess the experimental evidence that underpins these advances and look for signs of a general picture of how proteins fold. They show how these major conformational changes are leading to new insights into other fields such as membrane translocation and pore formation as well as the clinically important aggregation phenomena. A valuable handbook which will be essential for all fascinated by the power and flexibilty of proteins.
