Overview
Protein Biotechnology and Biochemistry is a complete and definitive source of information for all those interested in the area, providing a broad overview of the various medical, diagnostic and industrial uses of proteins. It covers basic biochemical principles as well as providing a comprehensive survey of products currently available or under development.
* The new edition has been thoroughly updated with new material.
* The key difference is that this new edition will include more "pure" biochemistry.
* There are two completely new chapters: Protein Structure - an overview and Novel Proteins from Novel Sources.
Chapter 2, Protein Structure, an overview and chapter 3, Protein Purification & Characterisation, make up approximately 30% of the book. These chapters concentrate on the basic biochemical principles of proteins and will lay the foundations for the rest of the book. The remaining chapters focus on protein biotechnology and have been rearranged, updated and expanded.

A broad overview is provided here of the various medical, diagnostic, and industrial uses of proteins. Initial chapters focus on issues such as protein structure, folding, stability, purification, and characterization. Later chapters detail the industrial production of proteins and their applications in medicine, analysis, and industry. The text is written for undergraduates pursuing degrees in molecular biology, biotechnology, biochemistry, and microbiology. It is relevant to those studying topics in biomedical sciences, and can be used as a reference for commercial managers and scientists in biotechnology and biopharmaceuticals. The text evolved from an earlier book, . Walsh teaches in the Industrial Biochemistry Program at the University of Limerick, Ireland. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
Editorials
From the Publisher
"Few texts would be considered competitors, and none compare favorably." (Biochemistry and Molecular Education, July/August 2002)
"With the potential of a standard reference source on the topic, any molecular biotechnologist will profit greatly from having this excellent book. It is to be hoped that Dr. Walsh will continue to update the text ..." (Engineering in Life Sciences, 2004; Vol 5; No. 5)
