Protides of the Biological Fluids Proceedings of the Thirty-Fifth Colloquium, 1987 By: H. Peeters Publisher: Pergamon Print ISBN: 9780080355887, 0080355889 eText ISBN: 9781483148380, 1483148386 Copyright year: 1987 Format: PDF Available from $ 93.95 USD SKU: 9781483148380 Protides of the Biological Fluids examines protides of the biological fluids and covers topics ranging from the use of DNA probes to diagnose inherited diseases and receptors to the conformation and function of biologically active peptides. This text has 115 chapters and begins by demonstrating the existence of gene families common to several vertebrates and which evolved by intragenic duplication. The chapters that follow focus on the use of DNA probes in the analysis of inherited disorders such as thalassemia and hemophilia. The reader is then introduced to receptors, especially for peptides. Receptors on circulating cells, hormone receptors, receptors involved in cancer, and immunoglobulin receptors are explored. The section on the conformation and function of biologically active peptides considers the methods including spectroscopic methods, crystallography, and theoretical conformational analysis. In particular, the use of synchrotron X-radiation in biological crystallography and of 2D NMR spectroscopy in the identification of folded structures in immunogenic peptides is highlighted. This book will be of value to biologists and biochemists. SKU: 9780080355887 Ebooks here: https://ebookscoffee.sellpass.io/products/Protides-of-the-Biological-Fluids
