Zusammenfassung:This practical resource covers the latest advances in the interactions of proteins with their solvent environment and provides fundamental physical information useful for the application of proteins in biotechnology and industrial processes. It discusses in detail structural, dynamic, and thermodynamic aspects of protein hydration as well as proteins in aqueous and organic solvents as they relate to protein function, stability, and folding
Presenting integrated analyses of the most recent results, Protein-Solvent Interactions examines the construction of proteins and the protein devices that underlie protein function and stability, furnishing a new paradigm for protein research ... reviews x-ray crystallographic results on the patterns of solvent structure in and around proteins ... studies protein hydration, glass transitions, and the plasticizing action of water, leading to a unifying description of protein dynamics ... highlights results from dielectric relaxation, Rayleigh scattering of Mossbauer radiation, positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy, hydrogen isotope exchange, and flash photolysis techniques ... outlines Brownian dynamics, Kramers's theory, and the effects of solvent viscosity on protein dynamics ... defines the thermodynamic nonideality of proteins in water-cosolvent mixtures in terms of excluded volume and preferential interactions, supplying a new appreciation of binding phenomena ... offers an inventory of solvent-induced effects on protein stability, association, and folding and shows how to obtain the missing thermodynamic data ... introduces a new approach to protein separation problems ... and much more
