Publisher's Synopsis
This title highlights the diversity of approaches used in understanding the function of proteins and how this understanding is applied to improving protein design for biotechnological applications. It reports on the status of current research into the interactions underlying protein stability, emphasizes the renaturation of functional properties from the aggregated state, and covers the relationship between protein structure and function, and the design of artificial multifunctional proteins by genetic technology.;The book also reviews recent advances in the improvement of cellulase design through recombinant technology, and examines the use of chemical modification to improve enzymes.
