Description

Non-Enzymatic Protein Modifications in Health, Diseases and Ageing discusses each type of non-enzymatic protein, introducing non-enzymatic protein modifications, reviewing the state-of-the-art, and presenting updates and current trends. The book covers various aspects of the subject, including the formation and removal of modified proteins, their roles in disease, preventative methods, and possible roles in cellular signaling. This book not only provides well-established facts, but also discusses current hypotheses and controversies.

Key Features

  • Provides the basic chemical knowledge necessary to understand non-enzymatic protein modifications
  • Combines a systematic chemical introduction to non-enzymatic protein modifications
  • Presents the types of non-enzymatic proteins that are usually separately reported and reviewed
  • Considers current hypotheses and controversies alongside the facts

Readership

Early-career researchers in biochemistry, biophysics, cell biology, biological chemistry, and food chemistry; Advanced researchers in aligned fields looking to update their knowledge of protein modifications
