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 associations. Discussions of
protein-solvent interactions address issues including protein
folding, membrane associations, and protein dynamics. Attention is
given to the effect of temperature and pressure on protein
structure, oligomerization, and ligand binding, as well as to ideas
about the basis of biological specificity. Although experimental
work is discussed throughout the text, the book is not technique
oriented. Its theoretical framework is clear, general and easily
understandable, making this an essential textbook for beginning
graduate students in biological sciences, as well as a valuable
reference for advanced researchers in industry and academia.
