Handbook of Proteolytic Enzymes

Handbook of Proteolytic Enzymes, Fourth Edition, Volume Five: Inhibitors of Proteolytic Enzymes is an essential reference for biochemists, biotechnologists, and molecular biologists across academia and industry. This volume offers a thorough discussion of known naturally-occurring and synthetic inhibitors of proteolytic enzymes. Each chapter includes enzyme inhibitor names, history, activity and specificity, structural chemistry, preparation, biological aspects, and distinguishing features, with color 2D and 3D structures of inhibitors, extensive references, and links to PubMed and MEROPS databases.

Edited by world-renowned experts in the field, and with five volumes available for individual sale, this work provides detailed information on all known proteolytic enzymes researched to-date, with expanded coverage of metallopeptidases, cysteine peptidases, serine and threonine peptidases, aspartic and glutamic peptidases, and inhibitors of proteolytic enzymes.

• Provides a comprehensive book on naturally-occurring and synthetic inhibitors of proteolytic enzymes
