This book presents a detailed examination of the physical properties of proteins and their associations with solvents, ligands, and each other. Incorporating observations from his classic work on the thermodynamics of protein-protein and protein-ligand interactions, the internationally recognized author offers a complete conceptual and quantitative description of proteins and their associations. The book begins with an overview of basic thermodynamic principles and goes on to describe the covalent and noncovalent binding of single and multiple ligands and their effects on protein-protein...
