| Short description
This provides a thorough introduction to protein biophysics via chapters dealing with experimental and theoretical determination of protein structure. It discuss each of the various expressions systems currently available and explore the relative advantages and limitations of each system, it also cover the difficulty in achieving correctly folded and functional proteins, the relationship between the structure and function of proteins, and specific examples of the use of protein engineering in construction of synthetic metal binding sites in proteins, the manufacture of tissue plasminogen activatior, and the generation of therapeutic antibodies.
