Description: Enzymes: A Practical Introduction to Structure, Mechanism, and Data Analysis is a practical, up-to-date survey designed for a broad spectrum of scientists in the biological and chemical sciences who are just beginning to delve into modern enzymology. Starting with the chemistry of simple reactions, the author acquaints the reader with the structural complexities of proteins and enzymes, and the mechanisms by which enzymes perform their catalytic functions.

Throughout the text, illustrative examples from the contemporary literature are provided to guide the reader through the concepts and data analysis procedures. Clear, well-written descriptions simplify the complex mathematical treatment of enzyme kinetic data. Thorough literature citations at the end of each chapter enable the reader to access the primary literature and more in-depth treatments of specific topics.

Two appendices provide the reader with the addresses and phone numbers of suppliers of reagents and equipment for enzyme studies and a survey of useful computer software for enzymatic data analysis. This book is intended for students of chemistry, biology, medicine, and allied fields at the senior undergraduate level and beyond. It also will be a valuable desk reference for professional scientists in the field of biomedical research.
