The prediction of the conformation of proteins has developed from an intellectual exercise into a serious practical endeavor that has great promise to yield new stable enzymes, products of pharmacological significance, and catalysts of great potential. With the application of predic­ tion gaining momentum in various fields, such as enzymology and immunology, it was deemed time that a volume be published to make available a thorough evaluation of present methods, for researchers in this field to expound fully the virtues of various algorithms, to open the field to a wider audience, and to offer the scientific public an opportunity to examine carefully its successes and failures. In this manner the practitioners of the art could better evaluate the tools and the output so that their expectations and applications could be more realistic. The editor has assembled chapters by many of the main contributors to this area and simultaneously placed their programs at three national resources so that they are readily available to those who wish to apply them to their personal interests. These algorithms, written by their originators, when utilized on pes or larger computers, can instantaneously take a primary amino acid sequence and produce a two-or three-dimensional artistic image that gives satisfaction to one's esthetic sensibilities and food for thought concerning the structure and function of proteins. It is in this spirit that this volume was envisaged.

This first volume contains data on amino acids which consists of the coefficients of solubility in water, heat capacities, entropies of formation, and heats of combustion. Specific gravity liquids, sucrose solution, CsCI solution isokinetic glycerol and sucrose gradients for density gradient centrifugation and the temperature dependence for select compounds are included.

This volume contains information on the nucleotide composition of bacterial DNA. Eukaryotic protists, etc.; Nearest neighbour frequencies in DNA; repeated and unique sequences in eukaryotes; nucleic acid sequences in bacteriophage, chloroplasts, mitochondria, kinetoplasts, satellites and TRNA. Information on the physical properties of RNA, atomic coordinates of DNA-DNA. Also included in this volume is information on enzymes involved in nucleic acid function.

The section of this handbook has been dividing into two volumes, the first volume contains information relating to purines, pyrimidine and nucleoside, oligonucleotide, polynucleotides, and their derivatives. Both ribo and deoxyribo compounds are listed also. The second volume will contain the remaining material similar to Volume 1 and material more relative to genetic and biological aspects such as enzymes involved in nucleic acid function, protein synthesis, linkage maps.

The fields of biochemistry and molecular biology are two areas in which the information explosion is manifest.

This edition focuses solely on proteins, amino acids venom toxins and peptides, haemoglobin. It also gives us very detailed information regarding cell types, anti-bodies, infrared testing on protein cells and membrane studies.
