Proteins in Solution and at Interfaces

Beschreibung

Explores new applications emerging from our latestunderstanding of proteins in solution and at interfaces Proteins in solution and at interfaces increasingly serve as thestarting point for exciting new applications, from biomimeticmaterials to nanoparticle patterning. This book surveys the stateof the science in the field, offering investigators a currentunderstanding of the characteristics of proteins in solution and atinterfaces as well as the techniques used to study thesecharacteristics. Moreover, the authors explore many of the new andemerging applications that have resulted from the most recentstudies. Topics include protein and protein aggregate structure;computational and experimental techniques to study proteinstructure, aggregation, and adsorption; proteins in non-standardconditions; and applications in biotechnology. Proteins in Solution and at Interfaces is divided intotwo parts: * Part One introduces concepts as well as theoretical andexperimental techniques that are used to study protein systems,including X-ray crystallography, nuclear magnetic resonance, smallangle scattering, and spectroscopic methods * Part Two examines current and emerging applications,including nanomaterials, natural fibrous proteins, and biomolecularthermodynamics The book's twenty-three chapters have been contributed byleading experts in the field. These contributions are based on athorough review of the latest peer-reviewed findings as well as theauthors' own research experience. Chapters begin with a discussionof core concepts and then gradually build in complexity, concludingwith a forecast of future developments. Readers will not only gain a current understanding of proteinsin solution and at interfaces, but also will discover howtheoretical and technical developments in the field can betranslated into new applications in material design, geneticengineering, personalized medicine, drug delivery, biosensors, andbiotechnology.
