This text offers the first systematic compilation of various techniques and methodologies used in the analysis of intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs).

An increasingly aging population will add to the number of individuals suffering from amyloid. Protein Misfolding Diseases provides a systematic overview of the current and emerging therapies for these types of protein misfolding diseases, including Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and Mad Cow.

* Examines the variety of roles that chaperones play in neurodegenerative diseases such as Huntington s disease and Parkinson s disease. * Caters to the ever-growing, global aging population.

This book provides an overview on what researchers have learned about unfolded peptides and how this knowledge facilitates the understanding of (a) the folding process, (b) the binding of ligands to receptor molecules, and (c) peptide self-aggregation.

This book provides a coherent, clear, and uniform presentation of structural, genetic, molecular, and biochemical information available for the zona pellucida domain protein family, which impact pathologies such as infertility, deafness, and cancer.

This book describes approaches for recognizing and classifying proteins into families of evolutionary related proteins.

Calcium Binding Proteins explains the unique and highly diverse functions of calcium in biology, which are realized by calcium binding proteins. The structures and physical characteristics of these calcium binding proteins are described, as well as their functions and general patterns of their evolution.

As the lifespan of humans increases, research into aging and its related pathological conditions is gaining momentum. This book is the first to explain protein oxidation and the aging process, focusing on the connection between protein disturbances and the oxidative stress that cells continually undergo.

Addresses the full gamut of questions in metalloprotein science. This book examines all major families of metal binding proteins, presenting our understanding of their structural, physicochemical, and functional properties. It introduces medical applications of metalloproteins.
