This book treats a new, far-from-fully-developed area of molecular
biophysics-enzyme physics. An attempt is made to survey this field,
but primary consideration is given tothreeprob lems under
investigation in the Polymer Structure Labaratory of the Institue
of High-Molecular Compounds, Academy of Seiences ofthe USSR. The
first problern is the genetic coding of the biologically
fun.ctional structure of proteins. Its solution is based on
physical theories of hydrophobic interactions. The second problern
is the conformational properties of pro teins as the factor
governing enzyme activity. The most direct methods for experimental
investigation of questions in this area are optical, principally
those involving natural and magnetic rota tion of the plane of
polarization. A substantial portion of the book concerns optical
activity; the Faraday effect is discussed in an appendix. The third
problern is the manifestation of the cooperative properties of
enzymes in the kinetics of enzymatic reactions and the solution of
complex kinetic problems. This problern is espe cially pressing in
connection with research on allosteric enzymes, which are
responsible for feedback in metabolic processes. An appendix
describes a new method for solving kinetic problems, based on the
theory of graphs. This volume extends and details certain of the
ideas ex pressed in my previous book, Molecules and Life: An
Introduction to Molecular Biophysics, which was published in this
series in 1965."
