Editorial Reviews

A collection of introductions to selected topics in applied protein science, addressed mainly to novices in the field of protein design with a background in biochemistry, biophysics, physical chemistry, and to a certain extent in computer science. The focus is on the present and future potential of nanoscale molecular objects, site-directed mutagenesis studies, catalytic antibodies, artificial neural networks, de novo protein design, and membrane protein engineering. Not only successful projects but also limitations of methods involved in the design procedure and severe drawbacks are presented. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
