Since the publication of the successful and popular second edition of Fundamentals of Enzymology in 1989, a large increase in the knowledge of several aspects of enzymology has occurred -- particularly in the areas of structural characterization of enzymes and bioinformatics. This new edition places appropriate emphasis on the new knowledge while consolidating the strengths of the previous editions. As before, this volume gives a thorough overview of the field that includes: enzyme purification and characterization; enzyme structure (including information on World Wide Web sites); enzyme kinetics; the mechanisms and control of enzyme action; enzyme folding; how enzymes act in vivo; enzyme synthesis and degradation; and clinical and industrial applications of enzymology. Furthermore, the integration of these themes is stressed throughout the book, making it useful for advanced undergraduates in biochemistry and molecular biology.

Principles and problems in physical chemistry for biochemists

What use is physical chemistry to the student of biochemistry and biology? This central question is answered in this book mainly through the use of worked examples and problems. The book starts by introducing the laws of thermodynamics, and then uses these laws to derive the equations relevant to the student in dealing with chemical equilibria (including the binding of small molecules to proteins), properties of solutions, acids and bases, and oxidation-reduction processes. The student is thus shown how a knowledge of thermodynamic qualities makes it possible to predict whether, and how, a reaction will proceed. Thermodynamics, however, gives no information about how fast a reaction will happen. The study of the rates at which processes occur (kinetics) forms the second main theme of the book. This section poses and answers questions such as `how is the rate of a reaction affected by temperature, pH, ionic strength, and the nature of the reactants? These same ideas are then shown to be useful in the study of enzyme-catalysed reactions.

Fundamentals of Enzymology

Now in a new edition, this book provides an up-to-date account of the field of enzymology. It describes the action of enzymes in systems of increasing complexity, and shows how these properties can be best utilized, both clinically and technically. The reader will find in-depth coverage purified enzymes, including full treatment of purification methods, structure, kinetics, mechanism of action, and the control of enzyme activity. The behavior of enzymes in more complex systems is discussed, and the intact cell is thoroughly examined. Fundamentals of Enzymology also provides complete information on enzyme turnover in vivo, clinical aspects of enzymes, and enzyme technology. This new edition pays close attention to new applications of recombinant-DNA technology, and includes the latest information on the production of enzymes, the determination of amino-acid sequences, and the analysis of enzyme structure and function using site-directed mutagenesis.

What use is physical chemistry to the student of biochemistry and biology? This central question is answered in this book mainly through the use of worked examples and problems. The text is brief and concise. It starts by introducing the laws of thermodynamics, and then uses these laws to derive the equations relevant to the student in dealing with chemical equilibria (including the binding of small molecules to proteins), properties of solutions, acids and bases, and oxidation-reduction processes. The student is thus shown how a knowledge of thermodynamic qualities makes it possible to predict whether, and how, a reaction will proceed.

These same ideas are then shown to be useful in the study of enzyme-catalysed reactions. Sections new to the second edition deal with co-operative binding of ligands, ultracentrifugation, oxidative phosphorylation, and two-substrate enzyme kinetics, and have been designed to cater for the requirements of a wide variety of biochemistry courses. This reprint of the second edition includes a thermodynamically more rigorous account of acid/base chemistry. The text should continue to appeal to all students interested in biology and biochemistry.
