Protein-Ligand Interactions: Hydrodynamics and Calorimetry (Practical Approach Series) [Paperback]

Stephen E. Harding (Editor), Babur Z. Chowdhry (Editor)

Book Description

Publication Date: March 1, 2001 | ISBN-10: 0199637466 | ISBN-13: 978-0199637461 | Edition: 1

This book covers the principle hydrodynamic and calorimetric techniques for studying protein-ligand interactions. A ligand is an atom, molecule, or ion that can bind to a specific site on a protein, and the interactions between any protein and its ligands are fundamental for the protein to function properly. Written from a practical standpoint, this book is applicable to both academic and industrial scientists wishing to characterize protein-ligand systems by using a multi-disciplinary approach.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Overall I found this book to contain a great deal of useful information about many spectroscopic techniques in physical biochemistry. It would serve well as a reference book for someone who needs an introduction to the techniques."--Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education
