Download or read book Recent Developments in Theoretical Studies of Proteins written by Ron Elber and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 1996 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Experts provide a unique and broad perspective of the theoretical tools available today to analyze protein structure and function. Topics at the frontier of computational biophysics, such as dynamics and thermodynamics of proteins, reaction path studies, optimization techniques, analytical theories of protein folding, sequence alignment algorithms and electrostatics of proteins are discussed in a pedagogical and complete way. Those entering the field will find the book to be a useful introduction. It will also serve as a complementary text to existing ones that focus on just one of the above subjects.
