Summary

This is a clear, up-to-date review of the scientific techniques used to alter the properties of proteins. It provides a wealth of in-depth information in an accessible format, explaining the underlying principles and their useful applications. Topics covered include the analysis of mutant proteins, structure-activity relationships, and the application of protein engineering to industrial and medical problems. The book also reviews a number of areas in which recent findings have led to new ideas that are not adequately described in existing textbooks. Two-color illustrations clarify the material and help make this an ideal source of information for undergraduates and graduates in biology and medicine.
