Protein Toxins in Modeling Biochemistry [Paperback]

This succinct volume addresses the production of inactive, potentially toxic proteins in the absence of correct protein folding and the resultant neurodegenerative diseases. Other topics include intrinsic disorder in protein structure and function and the effects of molten globules on protein toxicity. This concise and yet thorough text also discusses using toxin structure as a model for studying structural and functional aspects of protein chemistry. 

Addresses a newly-emerging concept of molten globule playing a critical role in protein folding and function

Provides information on flexible dynamic targeting compared to current molecular docking based on the static structures which will be extremely useful in drug development

Presents an extremely useful model for studying various aspects of protein chemistry
