Protein Folding

Protein Folding by Creighton, Thomas E.. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780716770275.

The phenomenon of protein folding has become the focus of intense scientific inquiry. Researchers have realised the importance of understanding how proteins adopt their folding conformations, and are developing experimental techniques to attack this problem. , Protein Folding is a report on the current state of this crucial area of research-the 4y experiments, techniques, and implications of recent findings on modem biotechnology and biomedicine. Its authors are the worlds leading investigators in this field, including: R M.
