Understand how drug discovery incorporates the building blocks of complex life with this accessible guide
Enzymes are among the fundamental building blocks of life, the proteins that catalyze some of the most important metabolic and biochemical reactions that sustain the complex organism. Understanding the unique structures and mechanisms of individual enzymes is key to medical treatment and pharmaceutical intervention, making it an especially essential aspect of drug discovery. The topic can appear challenging, however, as it requires command of interdisciplinary research combining biology, chemistry, and mathematics.
Laboratory Guide to Enzymology brings these disciplines together to offer a practical, accessible overview of the lab-based work of creating effective enzyme essays. Beginning with a guide to the fundamentals of enzyme theory, the book connects that theory to a range of modern methods of computation and experimentation. The result is a detailed but h ighly readable volume elucidating the cornerstone of drug discovery research.
Laboratory Guide to Enzymology readers will also find:
_ Specific examples of enzyme application in drug discovery
_ Detailed discussion of topics including enzyme catalysis, chemical kinetics, steady-state assays, and many more
_ Appendices including a range of vital supplementary material
Laboratory Guide to Enzymology is ideal for all biomedical and pharmaceutical researchers working in enzymology and assay development, as well as advanced students in the biomedical or biochemical sciences looking to develop a working knowledge of this field of research.
