The Enzyme Catalysis Process: Energetics, Mechanism and Dynamics

Booknews

Proceedings of the institute held July 1988. Introductory lectures include an overview from physics and a view from physical chemistry. The session on protein structure, spectroscopy, and dynamics deals with topics such as protein folding, nonlinear coupling, enzyme hydration, and percolation processes. Reactivity and catalysis topics include reaction dynamics, proton transfer reactions, and the potential of mean-force in enzyme catalysis. A fourth section comprises papers on practical and industrial applications. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
