Book Description

December 13, 2001 0471899070 978-0471899075 1
Protein Biotechnology and Biochemistry is a complete and definitive source of information for all those interested in the area, providing a broad overview of the various medical, diagnostic and industrial uses of proteins. It covers basic biochemical principles as well as providing a comprehensive survey of products currently available or under development.
* The new edition has been thoroughly updated with new material.
* The key difference is that this new edition will include more "pure" biochemistry.
* There are two completely new chapters: Protein Structure - an overview and Novel Proteins from Novel Sources.
Chapter 2, Protein Structure, an overview and chapter 3, Protein Purification & Characterisation, make up approximately 30% of the book. These chapters concentrate on the basic biochemical principles of proteins and will lay the foundations for the rest of the book. The remaining chapters focus on protein biotechnology and have been rearranged, updated and expanded.

Editorial Reviews

Review

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

"With the potential of a standard reference source on the topic, any molecular biotechnologist will profit greatly from having this excellent book. It is to be hoped that Dr. Walsh will continue to update the text ..." (Engineering in Life Sciences, 2004; Vol 5; No. 5)

From the Back Cover

Proteins: Biochemistry and Biotechnology is a definitive source of information for all those interested in this area, providing a broad overview of the various medical, diagnostic and industrial uses of proteins.

The text, which has evolved from an earlier book 'Protein Biotechnology', provides the reader with the latest developments in the field and offers a varied selection of relevant case study material. Initial chapters focus upon issues such as protein structure, folding, stability, purification and characterization. Later chapters detail the industrial production of proteins, and their applications in medicine, analysis and industry.

This book will be invaluable to undergraduates pursuing degrees in biotechnology, biochemistry, microbiology or molecular biology. It will also be directly relevant to those studying medicine, pharmaceutical science or related topics in the biomedical sciences. Also ideal as a reference source for commercial managers and scientists in the biotechnology and biopharmaceutical industries.

Reviews of Protein Biotechnology:
"Protein Biotechnology is a well written and easy-to-read book."
—Biochimie.

"There are few books that tie together the whole area as this book does...fills an important gap not readily covered by the standard biochemical, molecular biology or microbiology texts."
—Society for General Microbiology Quarterly.

"...presents a comprehensive review of proteins and enzymes used in the diagnostic, therapeutic and industrial arena."
—Trends in Microbiology.
