Featuring detailed enzyme kinetics, stereochemistry, and regulation, it serves as an indispensable resource for advanced students and professionals. Richly illustrated with graphs, tables, and extensive references, this book is a must-have for anyone serious about mastering protein science. ## Description Fersht’s Structure and Mechanism in Protein Science is a defining exploration of this new era, an expert depiction of the core principles of protein structure, activity, and mechanism as understood and applied today. A thorough recasting of Fersht’s previous text, the book takes a more general look at mechanisms in protein science, emphasizing the unity of concepts in folding and catalysis and the importance of the relationships between basic chemistry, kinetics, thermodynamics, and structure. Review: A classic - one of the "top ten" books for biochemists ! - This book belongs in every protein biochemists collection. It is a clear, up-to-date review of protein structure and function, with a concentration on enzymes. It covers a host of vital topics, including: the theories of chemical catalysis, enzyme kinetics (buy Segal for an in-depth study of this topic), the methods for determining rate constants, the stereochemistry of enzyme reactions, various regulation mechanisms, binding energies and the forces between molecules, and an overview of protein engineering techniques. If all this were not enough, Fersht concludes with a wonderful chapter covering case studies of enzyme structure and mechanism, and another couple on the kinetics and mechanisms of protein folding. Extensive references are given to the current literature for further study. Putting all these topics into one book is an accomplishment that few authors could pull off - but Fersht does it extremely well! Oh - the other nine ? Cornish-Bowden, "Principles of Enzyme Kinetics"; Segal, "Enzyme Kinetics"; Voet & Voet, "Biochemistry"; Branden & Tooze, "Introduction to Protein Science"; Dixon & Web, "Enzymes"; Pauling, "The Nature of the Chemical Bond"; Scopes, "Protein Purification"; Freifelder, "Physical Biochemistry"; Walsh, "Enzymatic Reaction Mechanisms" Review: A Great Reference for Advanced Students - A valuable reference, rich in graphs, tables, and citations. Chapters include topics covering the following: - catalysis - enzyme kinetics - measuring rate constants - pH dependence - equilibria - intermediates - stereochemistry - inhibition, regulation - binding energies - specificity and affinity - recombinant DNA technology - protein engineering - case studies in structure & function - stability and folding kinetics - folding and energy landscapes Knowing what it covers, I'd recommend this book only to serious undergraduates (with at least 1 year of physical chemistry and biochemistry each) or to graduate students...or diehard science literate people. Each chapter is thoroughly cited for further reading pleasure. ## Features - Used Book in Good Condition ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,117,282 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #87 in Biochemistry (Books) #3,330 in Biology (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 39 Reviews | ## Images ![Structure and Mechanism in Protein Science: A Guide to Enzyme Catalysis and Protein Folding - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71DofnGk2dL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A classic - one of the "top ten" books for biochemists ! *by D***Y on December 20, 2000* This book belongs in every protein biochemists collection.
