Analytical Techniques for the Elucidation of Protein Function

Scientists are using new techniques to study proteins and their functions, such as X-ray crystallography and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. This book provides an introduction to these techniques, which are especially useful for analyzing intrinsically disordered regions and post-translational modifications. It is a valuable reference for protein and peptide analysis and synthesis researchers, as well as for graduate and advanced undergraduate students in the life sciences.

Proteins are the fundamental building blocks of living organisms, playing a crucial role in sustaining and shaping life. The structure of a protein is the critical determinant of its function, and the analysis of protein structures has become an essential component of biological research. In recent years, traditional analytical techniques such as X-ray crystallography and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy have been complemented by a number of new methods that promise to revolutionize the study of proteins and their functions. Analytical Techniques for the Elucidation of Protein Function serves as an introduction to these techniques, which are particularly crucial for analyzing intrinsically disordered regions and post-translational modifications. These methods have revolutionized the study of proteins in recent years, and conventional methods for analyzing protein structures are no longer sufficient to fully understand their implications. This book aims to raise awareness of these cutting-edge techniques and provide a valuable reference for protein and peptide analysis and synthesis researchers, as well as for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows.

A discussion of techniques including electron paramagnetic resonance (ESR) spectroscopy, neutron scattering, Raman imaging, and more.

Both theoretical background and practical applications for each technique.

Contributions from leading international researchers into protein structure and function.

This practically focused text is a valuable reference for protein and peptide analysis and synthesis researchers, as well as for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows.
