Description

The use of thermodynamics in biological research can be equated to an energy book-keeping system. While the structure and function of a molecule is important, it is equally important to know what drives the energy force. This volume presents sophisticated methods for estimating the thermodynamic parameters of specific protein-protein, protein-DNA and small molecule interactions.

Key Features

* Elucidates the relationships between structure and energetics and their applications to molecular design, aiding researchers in the design of medically important molecules
* Provides a "must-have" methods volume that keeps MIE buyers and online subscribers up-to-date with the latest research
* Offers step-by-step lab instructions, including necessary equipment, from a global research community

Readership

Biochemists, biophysicists, molecular biologists, analytical chemists, and physiologists
