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.
Protein Toxins in Modeling Biochemistry, a SpringerBrief, is essential
reading for advanced researchers, scientists and advanced graduate
students interested in protein chemistry and related areas of
biochemistry and molecular science.
