| book description |
Protein Folding explores the fundamental and applied aspects of protein folding, misfolding, and stability in biological systems. Focusing on the biochemical principles and molecular dynamics that drive folding processes, the book provides readers with a comprehensive understanding of how proteins attain their native structures and what happens when this process goes awry. Covering diverse approaches from structural biology, biophysics, enzymology, and systems biology, the book highlights the molecular basis of folding pathways and the pathological consequences of misfolded proteins in diseases such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and cystic fibrosis. It integrates insights into chaperone function, folding kinetics, and the cellular quality control mechanisms that safeguard proteostasis. Across its chapters, the book addresses key themes including protein folding landscapes, folding intermediates, the role of cellular compartments, aggregation-prone sequences, and the impact of mutations. It also examines current methodologies for studying protein folding, including spectroscopy, calorimetry, and computational simulations, and considers emerging therapeutic strategies that target misfolding and aggregation. This book is a valuable resource for biochemists, molecular biologists, biotechnologists, enzymologists, and researchers in protein science. It supports academic researchers, postgraduate students, and pharmaceutical scientists working to understand protein behavior and develop interventions for protein misfolding diseases.
