Book 3

This text offers the first systematic compilation of various techniques and methodologies used in the analysis of intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs). Its coverage addresses one of the hottest yet least documented areas in protein biophysics today, summarizing recent achievements in the methods for structural characterization of intrinsically disordered proteins. The text also addresses structural biology and protein degradation, along with a myriad of spectroscopic techniques that can be used to elucidate protein structure: NMR and EPR spectroscopies, FTIR, circular dichroism, fluorescence spectroscopy, vibrational methods, and single-molecule analysis.

Flexible Viruses

by Vladimir Uversky and Sonia Longhi

Published 20 October 2011
This book provides up-to-date information on experimental and computational characterization of the structural and functional properties of viral proteins, which are widely involved in regulatory and signaling processes. With chapters by leading research groups, it features current information on the structural and functional roles of intrinsic disorders in viral proteomes. It systematically addresses the measles, HIV, influenza, potato virus, forest virus, bovine virus, hepatitis, and rotavirus as well as viral genomics. After analyzing the unique features of each class of viral proteins, future directions for research and disease management are presented.

Book 15


The phenomenon of protein intrinsic disorder has never been systematically analyzed and described ...until now! Intrinsic Disorder in Proteins is the first modern book to describe all the major experimental techniques that can be used to analyze intrinsically disordered proteins, including their structural, physico-chemical, and functional properties. Summarizing recent achievements in the understanding of the phenomenon of intrinsic protein disorder, this book is essential reading for scientists working in the fields of biochemistry, biophysics, molecular medicine, biotechnology, pharmacology and drug discovery, and molecular and cellular biology.
