This thorough book aims to present the methods that have enabled the success of peptides and proteins in a wide variety of applications. It opens with a section on chemical tools applied to the production or engineering of peptides and proteins, and concludes with a collection of chapters on biological approaches used to engineer structure and function in peptides and proteins. As a book in the Springer Protocols Handbooks series, chapters include the kind of detailed descriptions and tips necessary for successful results in practice.
Authoritative and practical, Peptide and Protein Engineering: From Concepts to Biotechnological Applications will be of great use to scientists in academia and industry seeking a better understanding of the emerging principles and methodologies in peptide and protein engineering.
