Laboratory Guide To Enzymology (Original PDF From Publisher)

By Alice Lanne, Antonia Turberville, and Geoffrey A. Holdgate

An Enzyme Guide for Laboratories

An approachable manual for comprehending the principles of enzymology as they relate to drug development

Highly specialized proteins called enzymes are required for carrying out particular biochemical reactions that are vital to life in all living things.

Since these enzymes’ normal functions might be disrupted in disease, a wide range of important targets for drug discovery are enzymes.

In-depth kinetic analysis is necessary to completely understand each enzyme’s specific mechanism in order to effectively target malfunctioning enzymes

pharmaceutically.

Because enzymology is an interdisciplinary field that integrates principles from mathematics, chemistry and biology, it can seem like a difficult subject.

The Laboratory Guide to Enzymology provides a useful, approachable manual that covers all three scientific disciplines by combining the theory of enzymology

with related lab-based activities.

The book begins with a quick overview of proteins and enzymes before gradually engrossing the reader in the principles of enzymology and how contemporary

experimental techniques might be applied to its usage in drug discovery.

The end product is a comprehensive yet extremely readable book that outlines the fundamentals of drug discovery research.

Readers of Laboratory Guide to Enzymology will also discover:

Key ideas in enzymology explained
Examples of medications that target various enzymes through various ways
thorough explanation of several enzymatic topics, including assay formulation, binding and steady-state kinetics, and enzyme inhibition and activation
All pharmaceutical and biomedical researchers involved in enzymology and assay creation, as well as advanced students in the biochemical or biomedical sciences seeking to get a working knowledge of this area of study, will find Laboratory Guide to Enzymology to be an excellent resource.
