Description
Handbook of Proteolytic Enzymes, Metallopeptidases has stood as most comprehensive work in the field of applied enzymology and biocatalysis since the first edition published in 1998. Extensively revised and updated, the new fourth edition is an essential reference for biochemists, biotechnologists, and molecular biologists across academia and industry. Edited by world-renowned experts in the field, and with five volumes available for individual sale, this work provides detailed information on all known proteolytic enzymes researched to-date, with expanded coverage of metallopeptidases, cysteine peptidases, serine and threonine peptidases, aspartic and glutamic peptidases, and inhibitors of proteolytic enzymes.This volume includes over 300 chapters on known metallopeptidases enzymes, including their name, history, activity and specificity, structural chemistry, preparation, biological aspects, and distinguishing features, with 2D structures of peptidases in color, extensive references, and links to PubMed and MEROPS databases.- Provides the only comprehensive book on Metallopeptidases, with over 300 peptides included- Written by experts in their field of proteolytic enzymes from all groups of living organisms and viruses, including those that are currently major targets of pharmaceutical research- Fully searchable text, 2D structures of peptidases in color, and links directly to PubMed and MEROPS databases- Details the latest proteotases used in therapeutic research and discusses recent drug trials
