Description

By combining the tools of organic chemistry with those of physical biochemistry and cell biology, 'Non-Natural Amino Acids' aims to provide fundamental insights into how proteins work within the context of complex biological systems of biomedical interest. This volume brings together the tools and principles of chemistry with the molecules and processes of living cells to create molecules with new properties and functions found neither in nature nor in the test tube. By studying the structure and function of these resulting molecules, new insights can be gained into the molecular mechanisms of complex biological and chemical systems. Demonstrates how the tools and principles of chemistry combined with the molecules and processes of living cells can be combined to create molecules with new properties and functions found neither in nature nor in the test tube. By studying the structure and function of non-natural molecules, new insights can be gained into the molecular mechanisms of complex biological and chemical systems. Provides a "one-stop shop" for tried and tested essential techniques, eliminating the need to wade through untested or unreliable methods
