Description
This book addresses the theoretical implication of the protein problem and outlines new genetic tools to synthesize gene coding for novel proteins, site-directed mutagenesis, gene transposition, and phenotype selection procedure. In addition, it describes various physiochemical tools such as x-ray crystallography and protein spectroscopy to study protein structure. The knowledge gained using this kind of integrated approach will eventually allow scientists to design synthetic enzymes, hormones and structural proteins, thus opening up the new area of protein folding. It is the intent of this book to draw the attention of a new generation of scientists to the folding problem challenge.
