How Enzymes Work

From Structure to Function

Beschreibung

This book starts with an introduction to various enzymes to show how interesting enzymes are. It is followed by historical kinetic studies on enzymes and the overall rapid-reaction kinetics. The subsequent topics describe the basics of protein structure, the control of enzyme activity, and the purification of enzymes. A case on the kinetic and structural studies of L-phenylalanine oxidase is also presented. There are many good books on enzyme kinetics, but only a few books describe their kinetic and structural aspects. This book deals with both and contains many references that can be good sources for further readings. The book is handy and is especially helpful for beginners.
