Biophysical Chemistry of Proteins
Springer-Verlag New York Inc.
978-1-4419-7250-7 (ISBN)
The book is structured in nine sections, each containing several chapters. The volume starts with an overview of analytical techniques and progresses through purification of proteins; protein modification and inactivation; protein size, shape, and structure; enzyme kinetics; protein-ligand interactions; industrial enzymology; and laboratory quality control. The book is targeted at all scientists interested in protein research.
Dr. Buxbaum's research interests are enzymology and protein structure/function relationship. In addition, he has been teaching science and medical students in several countries. He is currently working as associate professor of biochemistry at Ross University School of Medicine.
