Handbook of Proteolytic Enzymes 3 Volumes, 3rd Edition

Handbook of Proteolytic Enzymes, 3rd Edition

Handbook of Proteolytic Enzymes is a comprehensive reference covering proteolytic enzymes and their roles in biological systems. Edited by Alan J. Barrett, Neil D. Rawlings, and colleagues, this extensively revised work examines enzyme activity, specificity, structural chemistry, preparation, and biological functions. It also explores the relevance of peptidases to pharmaceutical research, biotechnology, and molecular biology.

Key Features:

• Provides detailed coverage of proteolytic enzymes and peptidases
• Includes more than 1,000 peptidases from diverse biological sources
• Examines aspartic and metallopeptidases
• Covers cysteine, serine, and threonine peptidases
• Discusses enzymes with unknown catalytic classifications
• Explains enzyme activity, specificity, and structural chemistry
• Reviews enzyme preparation, biological roles, and distinguishing features
• Explores peptidases investigated as targets in pharmaceutical research
• Includes expert contributions across enzyme research fields
• Provides searchable digital resources, structural information, and links to scientific databases
